jQuery simplemodal plugin: the method close() is causing error

when trying to close the simplemodal dialog, as I see in the plugin's website examples, it is done by calling

$.modal.close() or modal.close()

But non of them worked for me.

On Chrome console I get this:

Uncaught TypeError: Object #<an HTMLDivElement> has no method 'close' $.live.$.load.$.modal.onClose

Here is the full code.

$('.FinishUploadedFile').live('click',function(){

        $('<div id="modal"></div>').load('page?n=3',function(){

            $(this).modal({
                overlayClose: true,
                position: ['10%'],
                overlayOpacity:0,
                onOpen: function (dialog) {
                    dialog.overlay.fadeIn('normal', function () {
                        dialog.data.hide();
                        dialog.container.fad开发者_StackOverfloweIn('fast', function () {
                            dialog.data.slideDown('fast');
                        });
                    });
                },
                onClose: function (dialog) {
                    dialog.data.fadeOut('normal', function () {
                        dialog.container.slideUp('fast', function () {
                            dialog.overlay.fadeOut('fast', function () {
                                //Close the dialog.
                                modal.close();
                            });
                        });
                    });
                }
            });

        });

});

You haven't declared modal anywhere. You'll need to change modal.close(); to $.modal.close(); or change your onClose function to:

onClose: function (dialog) {
    var modal = this; // <- add this line
    dialog.data.fadeOut('normal', function () {
        dialog.container.slideUp('fast', function () {
            dialog.overlay.fadeOut('fast', function () {
                //Close the dialog.
                modal.close();
            });
        });
    });
}
