probably need to use the ready function. You need to load that when the document is ready.
$(document).ready(function () {

your site is loading very slow for me, so i can't even look at the source code. But give that a shot.
Must be something else because this does work

Ok so its a CSS issue. jquery ui uses some generic css rules. Like state-hover, widget-ui etc... You have them defined in the jquery css file and the base.css file. You'll need to take out what you don't need.
The jQuery UI Dialog plugin uses the jQuery UI CSS Framework to style its look and feel, including colors and background textures. We recommend using the ThemeRoller tool to create and download custom themes that are easy to build and maintain.
If a deeper level of customization is needed, there are widget-specific classes referenced within the jquery.ui.dialog.css stylesheet that can be modified. These classes are highlighed in bold below.
Sample markup with jQuery UI CSS Framework classes
<div class="ui-dialog ui-widget ui-widget-content ui-corner-all ui-draggable ui-resizable">
<div class="ui-dialog-titlebar ui-widget-header ui-corner-all ui-helper-clearfix">
<span id="ui-dialog-title-dialog" class="ui-dialog-title">Dialog title</span>
<a class="ui-dialog-titlebar-close ui-corner-all" href="#"><span class="ui-icon ui-icon-closethick">close</span></a>
</div>
<div style="height: 200px; min-height: 109px; width: auto;" class="ui-dialog-content ui-widget-content" id="dialog">
<p>Dialog content goes here.</p>
</div>
</div>
