I have a div inside my dialog box like so:

<div id="dialog_box">

stuff...

<div id="changethisdiv">not changed</div>

</div>

And I would like to be able to update the "changethisdiv" more than ONCE. However, it will only update on the first call to open the dialog:

function open_dialog() {

$("#dialog_box").dialog('destroy');

$("#dialog_box").dialog({

buttons: {

'Edit Thumb': function() {

$("#myThumbForm").submit();

},

Cancel: function() {

$(this).dialog('close');

}

},

close: function() {

},

open: function() {

$("#changethisdiv").html("it is changed at" + new Date().getTime());

}

});

$("#dialog_box").dialog('open');

return false;

}

If I take this:

<div id="changethisdiv">not changed</div>

out of the dialog box, it is updated everytime...
