Answer 1

You're setting it up wrong. Check this out to see how to do it correctly.

Ok, so that link doesn't take you where I thought it would. Here's the relevant bit from jqueryui.com.

closeType:dialogclose
This event is triggered when the dialog is closed.

Code examples

Supply a callback function to handle the close event as an init option.
$('.selector').dialog({
   close: function(event, ui) { ... }
});
Bind to the close event by type: dialogclose.
$('.selector').bind('dialogclose', function(event, ui) {
  ...
});
