[jQuery] jquery ui dialog get element from button

[Carlo Landmeter]

Hi,

I have probably a simple question which i cannot seem to find the
answer to.
I have a series of images which i want to use as buttons to trigger a
dialog. Inside this dialog i need the ID of the image button (or any
other element). But it seems after I load the dialog i cannot alter
the content of it anymore. As an example I have tried to change the
title of the #dialog so it will show the updated title when i click
the button. The only way i am able to do this is when i put all of
this inside the .click function and start with .attr function followed
by the .dialog function. The problem is when i do this and close the
dialog i cannot enable the dialog anymore. I guess this is why they
have the .dialog("open").
Is there a way i can achieve what I'm trying to do  here? Maybe there
is a better way of doing this?

Tia,

Carlo

code:

$(document).ready(function(){
  $(".button").click(function(event){
    $("#dialog").attr("title", event.target.id);
    $("#dialog").dialog({
      autoOpen:true,
      modal:true,
      overlay: {backgroundColor: "#000",opacity: 0.5},
      resizable:false,
      buttons:{
        "Delete": function() {},
        "Cancel": function() {$(this).dialog("close");}
      }
    });
  });
});

<div id="dialog" title="i did not change">this is a test</div>
