This is an extension for the jQuery UI Dialog widget that adds the ability to maximize and restore the dialog.

• jQuery-ui (1.8.5 and up - core, widget, dialog)

$("#dialog").dialog({ maximize: true });

The following options are added to the existing options of the dialog widget:

• maximize: false
  Indicates if the dialog should support being maximized.

• openMaximized: false
  Indicates if the dialog should be opened maximized.

• maximizeFx: { easing: null, duration: "normal", complete: null }
  Animation options for when the dialog is maximized.

  • effect - Name of jQuery animation.
  • duration - Animation duration/speed.
  • callback - A function to call once the animation is complete.

• restoreFx: { easing: null, duration: 'normal', complete: null }
  Animation options for when the dialog is restored.

The following events are added to the existing events of the dialog widget:

• maximized
  Raised when the dialog is maximized.

• restored
  Raised when the dialog is restored.

The following methods are added to the existing methods of the dialog widget:

• maximize()
  Maximizes the dialog. Chainable.

• restore()
  Restores the dialog to it's original size if it is currently maximized. Chainable.

• isMaximized()

There is a globalization object defined that can be used to set default globalization options so that they do not need to be specified for every instance of the dialog widget. They are as follows:

$.ui.dialog.maximizeExtension.globalization = {
    // Tooltip of the maximize button.
    textMaximize: "Maximize",

    // Tooltip of the restore button.
    textRestore: "Restore"
}
