JQuery Modal dialog close event

Question

I have a ruby-on-rails application, which shows a modal dialog form for first-time users. However, if users close the dialog, I want to redirect the user to home page. How do I do that? Here's my JQuery snippet. Thanks.

this.dialog(
    {
        modal:true, 
        width:'auto',
        height:'auto',
        title: 'New to Purchest? Subscribe to deals that interest you!'

        close: function(event, ui) {  }
    }
)

To clarify, you're using the jQuery UI Dialog library here, correct? — Jimmy Sawczuk, Apr 09 '11 at 01:26

I think it's as simple as adding code to that close callback:

this.dialog(
{
    modal:true, 
    width:'auto',
    height:'auto',
    title: 'New to Purchest? Subscribe to deals that interest you!'

    close: function(event, ui) {
        top.location.href = 'http://www.wheredoyouwanttogotoday.com';
        // ^^ obscure microsoft marketing reference
    }
});
