jquery dialog save cancel button styling

Question

I am using jquery ui dialogs in my application  How do I style the  Save  and  Cancel  buttons differently in a jquery dialog  So  Save  is more appealing than the  Cancel   I could use a hyper link for  Cancel   but how do I place that in the same button panel

after looking at some other threads I came up with this solution to add icons to the buttons in a confirm dialog  which seems to work well in version 1 8 1 and can be modified to do other styling       confirmBox   dialog       modal true      autoOpen false              buttons              Save   function                                     Cancel   function                          var buttons       ui-dialog-buttonpane   children  button    buttons removeClass  ui-button-text-only   addClass  ui-button-text-icon       buttons 0   append   lt span class  ui-icon ui-icon-check  gt  lt  span gt       buttons 1   append   lt span class  ui-icon ui-icon-close  gt  lt  span gt       I d be interested in seeing if there was a better way to do it  but this seems pretty efficient

I looked at the HTML generated by the UI Dialog  It renders buttons pane like this    lt div class  ui-dialog-buttonpane ui-widget-content ui-helper-clearfix  gt        lt button type  button  class  ui-state-default ui-corner-all  gt Delete all items in recycle bin lt  button gt        lt button type  button  class  ui-state-default ui-corner-all different  style  border  1px solid blue   gt Cancel lt  button gt   lt  div gt    Adding a class to Cancel button should be easy       ui-dialog-buttonpane  last-child   css  background-color     ccc     This will make the Cancel button little grey  You can style this button however you like   Above code assumes that the Cancel button is the last button  The fool proof way to do it would be      ui-dialog-buttonpane  button        each          function                          if   this  text       Cancel                                   Do your styling with  this  object

These solutions are all very well if you only have one dialog in the page at any one time  however if you want to style multiple dialogs at once then try       element   dialog       buttons             Save   function                Cancel   function                dialog  widget    find   ui-dialog-buttonpane button    eq 0  addClass  btnSave   end    eq 1  addClass  btnCancel   end      Instead of globally selecting buttons  this gets the widget object and finds it s button pane  then individually styles each button  This saves lot s of pain when you have several dialogs on one page
