   Howdy all..

   I am writing a plugin and I have the settings area defined and working fairly nicely.. but I wanted to add some spiffy jQuery stuff using the jquery.ui and jquery.dialog functionality..

   But I can't seem to get jquery.dialog to load..

   At the bottom of my widget definition (which is a class) I have:

   add_action("init", array('myWidget','init'),1000,0);

   This calls myWidget::init() which in turn looks like this;

   function init() {
       wp_enqueue_script('jquery-dialog');
       add_action('admin_menu', array('myWidget', 'registerAdminPage'));
   // More stuff..
   }

   The very first thing I'm doing is trying to enqueue jquery-dialog to be loaded..

   I have tried putting that call in different places and it never seems to work.

   jQuery.dialog is simply not defined..

   How do I go about loading jquery-dialog?

   Looking at the codex page for wp_enqueue_script shows that it's called 'jquery-ui-dialog'. The dialog also depends on the ui core, so you'll need to include that too.

   wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
   wp_enqueue_script('jquery-ui-core');
   wp_enqueue_script('jquery-ui-dialog');

   I think there may actually be more to it... there's probably some default styles to load with wp_enqueue_style.
