Star ratings in a JQuery UI Dialog

Star ratings in a JQuery UI Dialog

Hi all,
I am using this jQuery star rating system: (http://orkans-tmp.22web.net/star_rating) successfully on my site.
Now, I am trying to get a bit more fancy.
I want to put the star rating control into a jQuery UI dialog that pops up.

I invoke the dialog with:
  1.             var $dialog = $('<div></div>')
  2.                 .html($('#dialog_source').html())
  3.                 .dialog({
  4.                     dialogClass: 'hidetitle',
  5.                     autoOpen: false,
  6.                     draggable: false,
  7.                     resizable: false,
  8.                     modal: true,
  9.                     width: 450,
  10.                     buttons: {
  11.                         "next": function() {
  12.                             $(this).dialog("close");
  13.                             doNext();
  14.                         },
  15.                         "results": function() {
  16.                             $(this).dialog("close");
  17.                             $("#results_button").click();
  18.                         }
  19.                     }
  20.                 });
  21.             $dialog.dialog('open');

A simplified version of my dialog looks like this (where PHP has been exploded to HTML):
  1. <div id="dialog_source" style="display: none;">
  2. <div>Text</div>
  3. <div>
  4. Rate this:&nbsp;
  5.     <span id="myrating_pickresults">
  6.         <input name="star3" type="radio" class="star" value="1" />
  7.         <input name="star3" type="radio" class="star" value="2" checked="checked" />
  8.         <input name="star3" type="radio" class="star" value="3" />
  9.     </span> <!--  /id myrating_pickresults -->
  10. </div>
  11. </div>
I create the star rating with this:
  1.     $('#myrating_pickresults').stars({
  2.         callback: ratingCallback
  3.     });
  4.     $("#myrating_pickresults").data("stars").$cancel.remove();

where ratingCallback updates the server.

When the dialog is invoked, it successfully renders the star rating correctly.  However, that star rating is completely read only.  I cannot click into it at all.

I believe the jQuery dialog is consuming the input in some way, but I really don't know where to look.
Thanks in advance for the suggestions.
