Dynamically creating dialogue with image

Im trying to code a jQuery UI dialogue dynamically but with an image in the title, however my dialogue just shows the code instead of the image:-
User generated image
My code is currently:-
	var tag = $("<div title='test'></div>"); //This tag will the hold the dialog content.
	tag.html("data").dialog({
		title: '<img src="refresh.png" />'
		}).dialog('open');
	});

Open in new window


According to the documentation I can just include the html code so it should work fine.

Any ideas what Im doing wrong?

Thank you

Code works fine

Apart from the extraneous });
Not sure if this is a bug or not as I can't find any docs on it, but setting the title to an image works fine in jQueryUI version 1.9.x and less, but in version 1.10.x and above, you just get to see the raw HTML:

Here it is with jQueryUI 1.9.2 - works fine

Here it is with jQueryUI 1.10.3 - doesn't work

Yeah, just found it myself - don't ya just hate it when developers sneak these changes in - noone ever reads the ChangeLogs ;)

Anyway, here some code to override the title function so it works in jQueryUI 1.10:

Alternatively, avoid the title call altogether and set the title on open:

var tag = $('<div>').attr('title', 'test');
tag.html('data').dialog({
open: function() {
    $(".ui-dialog-title").html('<img src="http://lorempixel.com/50/50" />');
}
}).dialog('open');

Open in new window

Ok, the easiest way I can get it working is ChrisStanyon suggestion, however when I create multiple dialogues, all of them have the image in, is it possible (do you think) to specify a title unique to the dialogue Im creating?
