Show a div with the layout like a dialog - jquery-ui

I need to format multiple containers (div) in a web page to look like a jquery-ui dialog.
The divs should automatically change if I change the theme.
So far I'm applying a jquery-ui tab to the div, but this don't have the same title bar and I need to add a lot of html for each div
Thanks In Advance

Just use the same css as jQuery UI and apply it to your divs.

Is there a way to use JQM button styling outside of a Page or Header data-role?

I just started working with JQM a little while ago. I used the default VS2012 asp.net mobile project to start with. I like how the mobile pages work, but wanted a fixed area at the top of each page that essentially has 3 columns one of which is a logo. I've done that (with a basic table to start with) in the _layout.cshtml, and right below that is where I start the JQM Page layout. This is all working well, and I like how the page transitions happen while keeping a fixed header area at the top.
However, I would like to add a button to my fixed area at the top that is styled similar to the other JQM buttons. This doesn't work because the buttons are not within a valid Page or Header data-role I presume. Is there a way to take advantage of the JQM styles for HTML that is outside of those data-roles?
As an example, I'd like to use the anchor tag for a Log In button and have it styled the same as it is with a gear-icon when it's within a div that has data-role = "header". I'm not sure I have a deep enough understanding to drill down through all the elements that are used in the .css file and was hoping there are other individual classes or something I can take advantage of.
This is the line I am trying to display as a button, but I am only getting text (does work as anchor tag though):
<a data-role="button" data-transition="pop" href="/Vision/Account/Login">Log in</a>
Also, I am using jquery.mobile-1.1.0 and jquery-1.7.2.
You can style any element as a button by calling the jQuery Button Widget on the element:
$('.login-button').button();
The button function also accepts options such as the icon and theme:
$('.login-button').button({
icon: 'gear'
});

Try adding data-role="button" to your anchor tag.

Is it possible to have a button next to a search input with jquery mobile?

All the form examples in the docs for jQuery mobile show each form element on its own line. I would like to have a standard button (which will link to another page), to the right of a search input field. Is that possible with jQuery Mobile?
Thanks
Not natively as an inline unit. However, form elements can be used together with the layout grid system reasonably effectively:
http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.1.0/docs/content/content-grids.html
jQM's UI grids force columns of equal width. In my case, i wanted the submit button to be just the icon to allow the search box more room. i saw <table> mentioned in a couple posts, but discovered that other inputs (notably selectmenu) don't work correctly when they're children of unexpected elements. [1]
So to avoid breakage of the widgets, i managed this:
.ui-grid-a.my-grid-a .ui-block-a.my-block-8515-a {
width: 84.95%;
}
.ui-grid-a.my-grid-a .ui-block-b.my-block-8515-b {
width: 14.95%;
}
It's not bullet-proof, but it can be expanded to additional grid definitions. It uses specificity to get all the grid rules of the existing UI, but then redefine the column widths. No inline styles, no additional tags, and the widgets don't break. And because of specificity, it can be loaded before or after jQM's structure stylesheet.

With new version you can:
http://view.jquerymobile.com/1.4.0/demos/controlgroup/#Textinputs
The old style solution still works:overwriting the ui-input-search
div.ui-input-search{
width: 55%;
display: inline-block;
}
don't forget to add ui-btn-inline in the class of the a href (if you use the Button markup syntax)

Adding new grouped buttons with Jquery Mobile

I am trying to add some buttons into my jquery mobile page via ajax.
Straight injection into the page doesnt style it at all.
Trying this also does not work (doesnt get styled)
$('Next').appendTo('#page_btns').trigger('create');
Here is the code for its div
<div data-role="controlgroup" data-type="horizontal" id="page_btns"></div>
How can I add/remove grouped buttons via AJAX using jquery mobile?
EDIT: Calling .trigger('create') on the controlgroup div does style the buttons, but they are set to single buttons rather then the grouped style
Trigger create event on any div enclosing the controlgroup.For eg:data-role=content div.
Add the following line of code after you append buttons to div
$('div[data-role=content]').trigger('create');

SIFR, JAVASCRIPT & PHP - How to apply SIFR to dynamically loaded content

Well here's the problem:
I have a PHP index page which uses show/hide layers javascript. I am using the on menu.click function to show and hide content relevant to each menu. On.click all divs are hidden except the content for that menu item , which fades in. The content relating to each menu item are displayed within separate DIVS. The property is applied to all the text within all the divs.
See: http://jobe-group.com/jobeco/uk/2010live/dynamic/content/index.php#
The trouble is that SIFR only appears to be applied to the displayed on.load when the page is first loaded. When this is hidden and the other s shown through the "show" function they load in classic CSS fonts without the SIFR applied.
Is this unavoidable with the SIFR setup. Or am I not calling the divs properly. I have set the SIFR to apply to the selector and indeed it works fine on the for the displayed on load. It doesn't work for the within other . In theory I would think its possible to load the SIFR on all divs on page.load even if those divs are presently visibility:hidden.
What's the verdict on this?
Hope someone can help.
Cheers,
John
After you show the previously hidden div, execute the sIFR.replace calls again to replace the content in those elements.
