Datatable Controls in dialog header/footer - jquery-ui-dialog

Question

I have a DataTable with 3 controls; General Search, Pagination, and Info (i.e. 'Showing 1 to 10 of 88 Entries' ). I want to place these controls in the header/footer of a jQuery Dialog window.
DataTables provides an options called sDOM, which lets one specify where to put DataTable's controls. But, I want to put the controls in the header and footer of a modal, which can not be done with sDOM.
The General Search control can be created with fnFilter, which is easy enough.
I think Pagination, and Info will require writing a custom pagination plugin, which I would like to avoid.
This is my current progress on jsFiddle.
$('#modal').dialog({
modal: true,
"height": 570,
"width": 1170,
autoOpen: false,
auto: true,
dialogClass: "myDialog",
create: function () {
$(".myDialog").append('<div id="dialogFooter" class="ui-dialog-titlebar ui-widget-header ui-corner-all ui-helper-clearfix"><div class="dataTables_info" id="DataTables_Table_X_info"></div></div>');
}
});
var dataTableJS = $('#dataTable').dataTable({
"sPaginationType": "full_numbers",
"sDom": 'it<\"F\"p>"',
});
$("#modal").dialog("open");

You are doing it backwards :)
Create the dataTable
Create the modal
Move the autogenerated controls from the dataTable to the footer (or whatever)
forked fiddle -> http://jsfiddle.net/xK3TK/
I Have in the example placed the footer on top and included jQuery UI css (and you have BTW forgotten to close the modal markup </div>)
var dataTableJS = $('#dataTable').dataTable({
"sPaginationType": "full_numbers"
//"sDom": 'it<\"F\"p>"',
});
$('#modal').dialog({
modal: true,
"height": 570,
"width": 770,
autoOpen: false,
auto: true,
dialogClass: "myDialog",
create: function () {
$("#dataTable_info").detach().appendTo('#dialogFooter');
$("#dataTable_paginate").detach().appendTo('#dialogFooter');
$("#dataTable_length").detach().appendTo('#dialogFooter');
$("#dataTable_filter").detach().appendTo('#dialogFooter');
}
});
$("#modal").dialog("open");
