How to remove close button on the jQuery UI dialog?

jquery html css jquery-ui jquery-ui-dialog

I have found this worked in the end (note the third line overriding the open function which find the button and hides it):

$("#div2").dialog({    closeOnEscape: false,    open: function(event, ui) {        $(".ui-dialog-titlebar-close", ui.dialog || ui).hide();    }});

To hide the close button on all dialogs you can use the following CSS too:

.ui-dialog-titlebar-close {    visibility: hidden;}

jquery html css jquery-ui jquery-ui-dialog

Here is another option just using CSS that does not over ride every dialog on the page.

The CSS

.no-close .ui-dialog-titlebar-close {display: none }

The HTML

<div class="selector" title="No close button">    This is a test without a close button</div>

The Javascript.

$( ".selector" ).dialog({ dialogClass: 'no-close' });

jquery html css jquery-ui jquery-ui-dialog

the "best" answer will not be good for multiple dialogs. here is a better solution.

open: function(event, ui) {     //hide close button.    $(this).parent().children().children('.ui-dialog-titlebar-close').hide();},
