Yes that is what i ended up doing. in the intial instance of my dialog
i added a hide: 'drop', show: 'drop',
drop actually slides to the right and fades. Works like a charm.

what i was really having trouble with here was the syntax. What order
to have the effect for the dialog box. If anyone could explain this,
it would go a long way to me understanding this entirely without
having to have anyone help me.

$('#edpuchat').dialog({
                                        autoOpen: false,
                                        width: 590,
                                        height: 300,
                                        resizable: true,
                                        hide: 'drop',
                                        show: 'drop',
                                        buttons: {
                                                "Close": function() {
                                                        $(this).dialog("close");
                                                },
                                        }
                                });
                                // Dialog Link
                                $('#edpuchat_link').click(function(){
                                        $('#edpuchat').dialog('open');
                                        return false;
                                });

so if i just wanted to add an effect in there then...

Thanks though, i appreciate it.

If someone could explain how to put an animate effect on say, the one
of the buttons I would appreciate it. Such as, resizing the box by
creating a minimize button. That would be most helpful!
