Richard,
unfortunately this doesn't help at all. I tried. It has exactly the
same effect as I already achieved by applying width() to
the .parents('.ui-dialog') (of course I was altering the width of the
container dialog, not the ORIGINAL element). So, I'll try to explain
once again.
The problem is that previously (1.5b4) when the dialog has been
created, jquery ui used to set the inline style width/height on the
container (div.ui-dialog) only. The original element which I was using
the create the dialog has been left intact. Now, in the latest
version, upon the dialog creation the inline width/height are applied
to both the container and the original element (.ui-dialog-content).
And these dimensions are different (original element is inside the
container, thus its dimensions are made smaller). So, it is now
insufficient to alter the width of the container element (in any way,
via width() or data()) - the .ui-dialog-content should be altered as
well (and altered differently).
So now, when I try to resize the dialog, it gets wider, but the
contents (.ui-dialog-content) remain unchanged. Plus, I have
additional problems due to the now explicitly set dimensions for
the .ui-dialog-content... Please look at the screenshots to see what's
going on:
http://tmp.ahlers.com/test/tmp/so, my guess is that dialogs now might need a resize method...
Also, related question - how to move the dialogs programmatically?
kind regards,
