How can I disable a button on a jQuery UI dialog?

Question

How do I go about disabling a button on the jQuery UI dialog. I can't seem to find this in any of the documentation in the link above.

I have 2 buttons on the modal confirmation ("Confirm" and "Cancel"). In certain cases, I want to disable the "Confirm" button.

Looks like anyone, even in this linked question, have proposed this solution, similar to the first part of the answer given by Nick Craver:

$("#dialog").dialog({
    width: 480,
    height: "auto",
    buttons: [
        {
            id: "button-cancel",
            text: "Cancel",
            click: function() {
                $(this).dialog("close");
            }
        },
        {
            id: "button-ok",
            text: "Ok",
            click: function() {
                $(this).dialog("close");
            }
        }
    ]
});

Then, elsewhere, you should be able to use the API for the jquery UI button:

$("#button-ok").button("disable");
