jQuery UI Dialog modal Option

Last Updated : 13 Jan, 2021

‘modal option’ if set to true will disable the other items in the dialog box. By default, value is false.

Syntax:

$( ".selector" ).dialog({
  modal: false
});

Approach: First, add jQuery UI scripts needed for your project.

<link href = “https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/ui-lightness/jquery-ui.css” rel = “stylesheet”>
<script src = “https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js”></script>
<script src = “https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js”></script>

Example 1:

HTML

<!doctype html>                                              
<html lang = "en"> 
    
<head> 
  <meta charset = "utf-8"> 
  <link rel = "stylesheet" href = 
"https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/themes/ui-lightness/jquery-ui.css"> 
    
  <script src = 
"https://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"> 
  </script> 
    
  <script src = 
"https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.4/jquery-ui.js"> 
  </script> 
  
  <script> 
     $(function() { 
        $( "#gfg" ).dialog({ 
           autoOpen: false, 
           modal : true 
        }); 
        $( "#geeks" ).click(function() { 
           $( "#gfg" ).dialog( "open" ); 
        }); 
     }); 
  </script> 
</head> 
  
<body> 
  <div id = "gfg" title = "GeeksforGeeks"> 
    Jquery UI| modal dialog option 
  </div> 
    
  <button id = "geeks">Open Dialog</button> 
</body> 
    
</html>
