Calling the dialogue box with default function of 'Yes' button

$( "#confirmComplete" ).dialog( "option", "buttons:Yes");

$( "#confirmComplete" ).dialog({
     autoOpen: false,
     resizable: false,
     modal: true,
     async:false,
     position: 'top',
     buttons: {
         "Yes": function() {
                //SOME FUNCTIOANLITY
         }
     }
 })

Answer 1

Put the code in a named function, call the function:

function doYes() {
    // some functionality
}

$("#confirmComplete").dialog({
    autoOpen: false,
    resizable: false,
    modal: true,
    async: false,
    position: "top",
    buttons: {
        "Yes": doYes
    },
});

doYes(); // Call the default button action

Answer 2

You could do:

buttons: {
  "Yes": function() {
    $(this).dialog("close");
    return true;
  }
}

You could also have a No button that closes dialog and return false;

Based on the true / false returned, you can take further actions.
