javascript

/*function for dialog box */

function dialogBox(dialoge,opener){
if(dialoge.length>0 && opener.length>0){
  dialoge.dialog({ 
    autoOpen: false,
    width: 300,  //width
    height: "auto",

    buttons: {
      Close: function() {
        dialoge.dialog( "close" );
      }
  }
  });
 $("body").on("click",".ui-widget-overlay",function() {
 dialoge.dialog( "close" );   /*this works for modal */
 });
  opener.click(function() {

function calling

 }

ruby

<%= image_tag("/assets/help.png", :alt => "info", class: "opener") %>
<div id="dialog" title="HELP">for the addess</div>

I mean a full working example... something that I can copy and paste to simulate here. Also your javascript has a }) extra... — Daniel Maiochi, Sep 04 '17 at 08:18
