For "X" close:
 - $(this).parents('.ui-dialog:first').find('.ui-dialog-titlebar-close').remove();
For the button you can try this:
 -  $(this).parents('.ui-dialog-buttonpane button:eq(0)').focus();
Goodluck JQuerying!

Since you want to make this your primary button I would also make sure you have closeonescape set to false or have functionality to handle the keypress for 27 (esc key).

It worked perfectly thank you.
If I can bother you once more can you, please tell me how can I put a
loading gif in the button bar of the dialog.
Thanks in advane

By the way $(this).parents('.ui-dialog-buttonpane button:eq(0)').focus
(); puts the initial focus on the button but it does not make it the
default button.
