Answer 1

If you want to open existing page, you could use iframe to load the content inside your dialog box.

Assuming $dialog.html sets html content of the dialog box, you can do something like that:

$dialog.html('<iframe id="myFrame" src="/home/form.php"></iframe>')

Answer 2

You can also use load():

 $('#dialogThing).load("/home/form.php").dialog({ ... }).dialog("open");

You'll want to be careful about initializing a dialog more than once; I can't remember whether the normal jQuery UI dialog detects that. It might of course.
