in jquery ui, .dialog() property "position" doesn't work. Who can help me?

I learned jquery ui by myself, I want to customize my alert window using the .dialog() method. But the "position" property doesn't work. The alert window always stays at the left top corner. How to set the value of position?

$('#hello').dialog({ width: 300, height: 300, modal: true, position:"right bottom", show:"slideDown", hide:{ effect: 'explode', delay: 250, duration: 1000, easing: 'easeInQuad' } });

That's because the position property does not take a String it takes in another Object with the key of at like this.

    $('#hello').dialog({ 
              width: 300,
              height: 300,
              modal: true,
              position: { at: "right bottom" },
              show:"slideDown",
              hide:{ effect: 'explode', delay: 250, duration: 1000, easing: 'easeInQuad' } 
    });
