#10593 closed feature (duplicate)
Dialog: Allow the focused element (on close) to be configured

Description
The "bug" which was fixed in 1.10 (I believe) which restores focus on close means you can no longer make a dialog open on focus.
If you do you can never close the dialog (because when the close resets focus the focus trigger event reloads the dialog).
Please add an option to let it work as it used to before this (painful for us) "fix".

Hi - maybe I was not clear. The problem is that you can't close a dialog that is opened on focus.
The following demonstrates (when you set the HEAD references to a 1.10 or later version of jQuery UI). In IE, the dialog re-opens when you click Cancel. In Firefox and Chrome it closes by then all underlying fields are disabled.

Ah I see. You can't give focus back to the opening element because it just reopens the dialog. I reduced this: http://jsfiddle.net/tj_vantoll/dLj83838/1.
You can configure the focusable element in an extension (for example http://jsfiddle.net/tj_vantoll/dLj83838/), but it's not documented or intuitive. I think this is something we should consider making an official extension point.

Better still - just a .dialog option to say "work as it used to do before 1.10" ;-)
"focusOnClose", say with options:
- true - default, do as now
- false - don't apply focus anywhere
- jQuery-selector - go there

Hey PeterB,
Could you give an example of what exactly you're trying to build here? I'm not seeing any problems opening a dialog on focus: http://jsfiddle.net/tj_vantoll/4exLqcge/.
Thanks.
