I am using jquery's ui dialog form code. Essentially if you click a button a pop up pops up and asks the user to enter name email and password. I want this to happen but i don't want to click the button, I want this even to happen when a user clicks a td in a table.
This is the code jquery ui comes with

<fieldset>
<label for="name">name</label>

</div>
<button id="create-user">Create new user</button>
</div><!-- End demo -->
</body>
</html>
Now I tried to add the id=create-user to the td so it looks like this instead of the <button id="create-user">Create new user</button>. I also tried to change the button: event to td: indead, but nothing. I am not sure what else to really do?
