Reference elements in dialogue

[jkdoyle]

How do I reference elements in dialogues?

For example I use:

Code:

$('#my_modal').dialog({
     href: 'search_form'.html

})

To load a search form, and now I want to use scripting to add combobox values to an input with id "search_field" or name "search_value" in the dialogue.  How do I make the reference $('#search_field').combo(); doesn't work.

You must wait the dialog content to be loaded successfully before calling $('#search_field').

Code:

$('#my_modal').dialog({
     href: 'search_form.html',
     onLoad: function(){
       $('#search_field')...
     }
})
