Can't make jQuery UI dialog work

Question

I try to use jQuery UI library. I made it AMD using this plugin, and have a simple code of:

<div class="#dialog" title="Test">
    <p>Hello world!</p>
</div>

That I try to show in dialog inside backbone's render function like this:

render:function ()
        this.$el.html(companyTemplate);
        ...
        $("#dialog").dialog();
        return this;
    },

there are no errors in the console, and nothing happens. I did reqire it in define() and include the appropriate css in my main page.

UPD autocomplete works fine, seems like it's related to dialog.

Answer 1

Try

<div id="dialog" title="Test">
    <p>Hello world!</p>
</div>

or

<div class="dialog" title="Test">
    <p>Hello world!</p>
</div>

$(".dialog").dialog();
