You can use the metadata plugin (
http://plugins.jquery.com/project/metadata) to store and retreive the
values like so:
<a href="http://some/url/to/open/in/dialog"; class="DialogEdit
{width:500,height:250}">link text</a>
Then something like this should do:
$('.DialogEdit').click(function() {
var options = $(this).metadata("DialogEdit");
$('<div></div>').load(this.href, function() {
$(this).dialog(options);
});
return false;
});
