- Open Dialog' button will trigger the click function (#gfg) that will further open the <textarea> in a dialog (#gfg2).
- create( event, ui ) : Triggers when dialog box is created. There is callback function attached to this create which gets triggered after the dialog box is created.
- event : Type -> Event
- ui : Type -> Object
- callback function : function( event, ui ) { console.log('created')}
