JQuery Dialog is giving me lots of pain lately. I have the following div which I want to be popped up. (Ignore that the classes do not show the double quotes in the syntax)

TABLE class=widget-title-table border=0 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0>
<TBODY>
<TR>
    <TD class=widget-title><SPAN class=widget-title>Basic Info</SPAN></TD>
    <TD class=widget-action>
    <DIV id=edit-actions jQuery1266325647362="3">
        <UL class="linkbutton-menu read-mode">
            <LI class="control-actions">
                <A id="action-button" class="mouse-over-pointer linkbutton">Delete this                 stakeholder</A> 
            <DIV id="confirmation" class="confirmation-dialog title=Confirmation">
                Are you sure you want to delete this stakeholder? 
            </DIV>

</LI></UL></DIV></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

The JQuery for this is ...

$(document).ready(function() {

$('#confirmation').dialog({
    bgiframe: true, modal: true, autoOpen: false, closeOnEscape: false,
    draggable: true, position: 'center', resizable: false, width: 400, height: 150
    });

});

And the dialog is 'open'ed by

var confirmationBox = $('#confirmation',actionContent);
if (confirmationBox.length > 0) {


    //Confirmation Needed
    $(confirmationBox).dialog('option', 'buttons', {
        'No': function() {
            $(this).dialog('close');
        },
        'Yes': function() {
            $('ul.read-mode').hide();
            $.post(requestUrl, {}, ActionCallback(context[0], renderFormUrl), 'json');
            $(this).dialog('close');
        }            
    });

    $(confirmationBox).dialog('open');

}

The problem starts in the initialization itself. When the document loads, the <div #confirmation> is deleted from the markup! I had a similar issue earlier, but I cannot use that solution here. On this page I can have multiple PopUp divs.

When I added the initialization in just before opening it; the form popped up. But after I close it, the div is removed; so I am not able to see the popup again.
