Attach function/condition jQuery Dialog autoOpen Parameter

Question

I need to check for a value on page load that will determine whether or not the dialog should autoOpen. I imagined that this would work similar to the way close is handled, but that's not the case.

$(".x_dialog").dialog({
                autoOpen: function(){ret();}
});

 function ret() {return false;}

Answer 1

My approach was wrong.

After the page has loaded, check for the conditions and then call

$("#x_dialog").dialog("open");

If appropriate.
