jquery dialog on button click

Question

I'm trying to get a jquery dialog to launch on a button click but does not seem to be working. Any help would be appreciated:

    $('#wrapper').dialog({
        autoOpen: false,
        title: 'Basic Dialog'
    });
    $('#opener').click(function() {
        $(this).dialog('open');
        return false;
    });

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.0/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
<button id="opener">Open the dialog</button>
    <div id="wrapper">
    <p>Some txt goes here</p>
    </div>

Thanks!

This line

$(this).dialog('open');  // this here corresponds to the #opener div

supposed to be

$('#wrapper').dialog('open');

Also extra braces }); .. Can be ignored if this is the closing brace for DOM Ready handler

Check Fiddle

Ensure you are referencing the jQuery and jQueryUI libraries, as per my example below.

Try this:

<html>
    <head>
        <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
        <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.23/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
        <link href="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.23/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" />

        <script type="text/javascript">
            $(document).ready(function() {

                $('#wrapper').dialog({
                    autoOpen: false,
                    title: 'Basic Dialog'
                });
                $('#opener').click(function() {
                    $('#wrapper').dialog('open');
//                  return false;
                });
            });
        </script>
    </head>
<body>

<button id="opener">Open the dialog</button>
<div id="wrapper">
    <p>Some txt goes here</p>
</div>

Try this code, it works for me.

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>jQuery UI Dialog - Default functionality</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.4/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css">
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.4/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://jqueryui.com/resources/demos/style.css">
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
  $(function() {
    console.log('false');
    $( "#dialog" ).dialog({
        autoOpen: false,
        title: 'Test'
    });
  });

  $("button").click(function(){
    console.log("click");
        $(this).hide();
        $( "#dialog" ).dialog('open');
    });
}); 
</script>
</head>
<body>
<button id="open">Open Dialog box</button> 
<div id="dialog" title="Basic dialog">
<p>This is the default dialog which is useful for displaying information. The dialog window can be moved, resized and closed with the 'x' icon.</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
