1. <div id='dialog' title='Blog Post Viewer'></div>

2. 
   
3. <a href='? $url_data ' onclick='return false' onmousedown=' run_modal ( \" $href \" , \" $url_data \" );'> $link_txt </a>

$(function() {
    $( "#dialog" ).dialog({
        autoOpen: false
    });
});

function run_modal( href, url_data ) {
    $("#dialog").dialog("open");
//    alert(href+"="+url_data);
}

It comes up with this bug:
jquery-2.1.4.js:250 Uncaught Error: cannot call methods on dialog prior to initialization; attempted to call method 'open'

What am I doing wrong to trigger the dialog call?
Is there a way you would suggest changing the title, and body content on a single ajax call to the server?

1. . ui-accordion . ui-accordion-header-active {
2.      background-color : rgb ( 252 , 255 , 150 );
3. }

1. function run_modal(catagory, item) {
   //    alert(catagory +'*'+ item);
   
   
   
   //modal code for output
       $( "#modal" ).dialog({
           //modal content in here
           title:"this is only a test",//title of modal box
           width: 300,
           height: 300,
           modal: false,
           ui-dialog-content:"text",
   
       });
   
   }
