jQuery UI Dialog with ASP.NET button postback

I have a jQuery UI Dialog working great on my ASP.NET page:

jQuery(function() {
    jQuery("#dialog").dialog({
        draggable: true,
        resizable: true,
        show: 'Transfer',
        hide: 'Transfer',
        width: 320,
        autoOpen: false,
        minHeight: 10,
        minwidth: 10
    });
});

jQuery(document).ready(function() {
    jQuery("#button_id").click(function(e) {
        jQuery('#dialog').dialog('option', 'position', [e.pageX + 10, e.pageY + 10]);
        jQuery('#dialog').dialog('open');
    });
});

My div:

<div id="dialog" style="text-align: left;display: none;">
    <asp:Button ID="btnButton" runat="server" Text="Button" onclick="btnButton_Click" />
</div>

But the btnButton_Click is never called... How can I solve that?

More information: I added this code to move div to form:

jQuery("#dialog").parent().appendTo(jQuery("form:first"));

But still without success...

You are close to the solution, just getting the wrong object. It should be like this:

jQuery(function() {
    var dlg = jQuery("#dialog").dialog({
                         draggable: true,
                         resizable: true,
                         show: 'Transfer',
                         hide: 'Transfer',
                         width: 320,
                         autoOpen: false,
                         minHeight: 10,
                         minwidth: 10
                     });
    dlg.parent().appendTo(jQuery("form:first"));
});

$('#divname').parent().appendTo($("form:first"));

Using this code solved my problem and it worked in every browser, Internet Explorer 7, Firefox 3, and Google Chrome. I start to love jQuery... It's a cool framework.

I have tested with partial render too, exactly what I was looking for. Great!

<script type="text/javascript">
    function openModalDiv(divname) {
        $('#' + divname).dialog({ autoOpen: false, bgiframe: true, modal: true });
        $('#' + divname).dialog('open');
        $('#' + divname).parent().appendTo($("form:first"));
    }

    function closeModalDiv(divname) {
        $('#' + divname).dialog('close');
    }
</script>
...
...
<input id="Button1" type="button" value="Open 1" onclick="javascript:openModalDiv('Div1');" />
...
...
<div id="Div1" title="Basic dialog" >
    <asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server">
       <ContentTemplate>
          postback test<br />
          <asp:Button ID="but_OK" runat="server" Text="Send request" /><br />
          <asp:TextBox ID="tb_send" runat="server"></asp:TextBox><br />
          <asp:Label ID="lbl_result" runat="server" Text="prova" BackColor="#ff0000></asp:Label>
        </ContentTemplate>
    <asp:UpdatePanel>
    <input id="Button2" type="button" value="cancel" onclick="javascript:closeModalDiv('Div1');" />
</div>

FWIW, the form:first technique didn't work for me.

However, the technique in that blog article did:

http://blog.roonga.com.au/2009/07/using-jquery-ui-dialog-with-aspnet-and.html

Specifically, adding this to the dialog declaration:

  open: function(type,data) {
    $(this).parent().appendTo("form");
  }

Be aware that there is an additional setting in jQuery UI v1.10. There is an appendTo setting that has been added, to address the ASP.NET workaround you're using to re-add the element to the form.

Try:

$("#dialog").dialog({
     autoOpen: false,
     height: 280,
     width: 440,
     modal: true,
     **appendTo**:"form"
});

ken's answer above did the trick for me. The problem with the accepted answer is that it only works if you have a single modal on the page. If you have multiple modals, you'll need to do it inline in the "open" param while initializing the dialog, not after the fact.

open: function(type,data) { $(this).parent().appendTo("form"); }

If you do what the first accepted answer tells you with multiple modals, you'll only get the last modal on the page working firing postbacks properly, not all of them.
