ajax - jQuery UI datepicker opens automatically within dialog

Question

I have a datepicker which is used within the jQuery dialog object. The source of the dialog's content is loaded using .load(). Within the dialog I created a script which creates a datepicker for the text input.

$("#date").datepicker({ ... });

When I open the dialog for the first time - everything is okay, but if I close it and reopen again, the datepicker is triggered automatically (and there's no such an option like autoOpen:false) Is there any way of preventing this or what am I doing wrong?

Much simpler way I found:

$("#dialogPopper").click(
                    function() {
                        $("#date").datepicker("disable");
                        $("#dialog").dialog("open");
                        $("#date").datepicker("enable");
                        return false;
                    }
                  );
