In a jquery modal dialog, is there a way to select a button as the default action (action to execute when the user presses enter)?

Example of jquery web site:
jquery dialog modal message

In the example above the dialog closes when the user presses Esc. I would like the Ok button action to be called when the user presses Enter.

In your dialog's open function, you can focus the button:

$(#myDialog).dialog({

    open: function() {

      $(this).parents('.ui-dialog-buttonpane button:eq(0)').focus(); 

    }

});

Change the :eq(0) if it's at a different index, or find by name, etc.
