MonthPicker doesn't close when parent Dialog closes about jquery-ui-month-picker

Thank you for bringing this up.

Stay tuned while I check jQuery UI's source to see what we can do about this.

I was able to do this in the fiddle...

$('#Modal').dialog({
    autoOpen: false,
    title: 'MonthPicker Dialog Test',
    modal: true,
      close: function( event, ui ) {
    $('body').trigger('click');
  }
});

One more thing about this Ben...

Instead of just clicking the body to hide the menu I originally wanted to just call our API for close...

$('.selector').MonthPicker('Close')

But when I did that in the fiddle it did not seem to work.

I still look forward to hearing about how this issue is normally dealt with in jQuery UI plugins.

I haven't looked at the code yet but I suspect this problem occurs because they call event.stopPropagation() on the close button's click event.

Looks like I've found the culprit, see: ui/widgets/dialog.js#L438.

Looks like this is happening not just because jQuery UI calls event.preventDefault() but because we check if event.isDefaultPrevented() in the Close() method.

I'm thinking we can clone the event and make sure event.preventDefault() was called from within the OnBeforeMenuClose event.
