[jQuery] Re: Newbie with jQuery

I am sure that you can design better way than 10 separate call, but
anyway with your case you can at least group all call event like
$('img[id^=img_]').click(function(){
// here you have all img with id starting with img_ click
// then you can get the id of caller
var id =$(this).attr('id');
// get the number
var number() = id.splist('_');
// number[1] will give 1, 2 etc of img_1 etc.
//now call your dialog
$('#dialog_' + number[1]).dialog('close');

});
