Question

have a look at this example link text It creates a dialog with a iframe init that loads an external page. The dialog is added to the DOM. Is it possible to delete it on dialog close event?

In the close event of the dialog you can .remove() it, for example:

$('<iframe src="' + this.href + '" />').dialog({
  //...current options...
  close: function() {
    $(this).dialog('destroy').remove();
  }
});

This removes the <iframe> and it's contents as well as destroying the actual dialog widget around it which is no longer useful.

@ArtWorkAD - Yes, though there's a much cheaper/cleaner way to remove the specific iframe of the dialog in question, see the close event in my answer :)
