I am using a jquery function to open a dialog box, and I need to be able to change the height and the width of the box. I am wanting to pass it a parameter from within the DIV. I have looked at many different possibilities, but to no avail. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

$.fx.speeds._default = 1000;
$(function() {
    $("#dialog").dialog({
        autoOpen: false,
        height: 300,
        width: 500,
        show: "drop",
        hide: "drop"
    });
    $("#opener").click(function() {
        $("#dialog").dialog("open");
        return false;
    });
});

Here is my Div.

<div id="dialog">
   Some text here
</div>
