Dialog box not opening in IE8

in Using jQuery UI • 4 months ago

I am using jQuery v1.8.1 with jQuery UI v1.8.23.

I am trying to open a dialog box on load of the screen. I am having the following div in my JSP.

<div id="error-message1" title="This is the title!">
This is a test error message.
</div>

and I am invoking the dialog box like below

$("#error-message1").dialog({
        autoOpen: true,
        modal: true,
        height: 300,
        width: 300
    });

The dialog box is opening in Firefox 16.0.2 but not in IE8. My entire screen is masked since I have 'modal: true' but dialog box is not opening IE.

Its probably better to make so:

$( "#createDialog" ).dialog({ title: "some title textCreate User232", 
                              modal: true});

This will automatically initialize and opens dialog;
If you need to open it later, make so:

$( "#createDialog" ).dialog({ title: "Create User232", 
                              modal: true, 
                              autoOpen: false});

Thanks for reply. I tried what you have suggested, but it did not work.

It works in exactly same way as my example. i.e. dialog box opens with background masking in Firefox. But the dialog box is NOT displayed in IE8, only background masking displayed.
