Code

function ajax_command_open_dialog($selector, $title, $html, array $dialog_options = array()) {
  // Add the library for handling the dialog in the response.
  backdrop_add_library('system', 'backdrop.dialog.ajax');

  // jQuery UI does not allow markup in its titles, and does its own escaping.
  // The value passed in should already be escaped (as it would be from
  // backdrop_get_title()), so we decode it back to the original characters.
  $title = html_entity_decode(strip_tags($title), ENT_QUOTES);

  $dialog_options['title'] = $title;

  // For consistency ensure the modal option is set to TRUE or FALSE.
  $dialog_options['modal'] = isset($dialog_options['modal']) && $dialog_options['modal'];

  return array(
    'command' => 'openDialog',
    'selector' => $selector,
