How to implement "confirmation" dialog in Jquery UI dialog?

I am try to use JQuery UI Dialog to replace the ugly javascript:alert() box. In my scenario, I have a list of items, and next to each individual of them, I would have a "delete" button for each of them. the psuedo html setup will be something follows:

<ul>
    <li>ITEM <a href="url/to/remove"> <span>$itemId</span>
    <li>ITEM <a href="url/to/remove"><span>$itemId</span>
    <li>ITEM <a href="url/to/remove"><span>$itemId</span>
</ul>

<div id="confirmDialog">Are you sure?</div>

In JQ part, on document ready, I would first setup the div to be a modal dialog with necessary button, and set those "a" to be firing to confirmation before to remove, like:

$("ul li a").click(function() {
  // Show the dialog    
  return false; // to prevent the browser actually following the links!
}

OK, here's the problem. during the init time, the dialog will have no idea who (item) will fire it up, and also the item id (!). How can I setup the behavior of those confirmation buttons in order to, if the user still choose YES, it will follow the link to remove it?

I've created a my own function for a jquery ui confirm dialog. Here is the code

function myConfirm(dialogText, okFunc, cancelFunc, dialogTitle) {
  $('<div style="padding: 10px; max-width: 500px; word-wrap: break-word;">' + dialogText + '</div>').dialog({
    draggable: false,
    modal: true,
    resizable: false,
    width: 'auto',
    title: dialogTitle || 'Confirm',
    minHeight: 75,
    buttons: {
      OK: function () {
        if (typeof (okFunc) == 'function') {
          setTimeout(okFunc, 50);
        }
        $(this).dialog('destroy');
      },
      Cancel: function () {
        if (typeof (cancelFunc) == 'function') {
          setTimeout(cancelFunc, 50);
        }
        $(this).dialog('destroy');
      }
    }
  });
}

Now to use this in your code, simply write following

myConfirm('Do you want to delete this record ?', function () {
    alert('You clicked OK');
  }, function () {
    alert('You clicked Cancel');
  },
  'Confirm Delete'
);

Go on.

I was looking for this to use on link-buttons within an ASP.NET Gridview (GridView Control build in Commands) So the "Confirm" action in the dialog needs to activate a script generated by the Gridview control at run-time. this worked for me:

 $(".DeleteBtnClass").click(function (e) {
     e.preventDefault();
     var inlineFunction = $(this).attr("href") + ";";
     $("#dialog").dialog({
         buttons: {
             "Yes": function () {
                 eval(inlineFunction); // eval() can be harmful!
             },
                 "No": function () {
                 $(this).dialog("close");
             }
         }
     });
 });
