open jquery-ui dialog based on ajax response

Question

I'm trying to open a jquery-ui dialog when the response of checklatestnews.php meets the condition rec != "0". I created a test checklatestnews.php file where the response is always "1", yet a jquery-ui dialog will still not open. Any help would be appreciated.

<div id="dialog">

<script type="text/javascript">

 $("#dialog").dialog(
   {
    bgiframe: true,
    autoOpen: false,
    height: 100,
    modal: true
   }
);
</script>

<script type="text/javascript">

   var check_latestnews;
function CheckForLatestNewsNow() {
    var str="chklatestnews=true";
    jQuery.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: "checklatestnews.php",
            data: str,
            cache: false,
            success: function(res){
                if(res != "0") {


 $("#dialog").html(response).dialog("open");

                }

            }
    });
}
check_latestnews = setInterval(CheckForLatestNewsNow, 5000);
</script>

$.post("checklatesnews.php", {action: "check"}, function(response) {
    .....
    $("#dialog").dialog("open");
});

$("#dialog").dialog("open"); is opening a blank dialogue but works. how do i echo the .html(data);

Then set data before open: $("#dialog").html(data).dialog("open")

I changed $("#dialog").dialog("open"); to $("#dialog").html(data).dialog("open"); but now the dialogue is not opening

Check the data variable... What it contain? From where you get data? console.log(data)

If you get data from response and response type is json, then $("#dialog").html(response.data).dialog("open");
