CKEditor calling openDialog I get fade but no dialog

With CKEditor I want to create a dialog not as part of a plugin. But, when I call openDialog for a dialog I added... it fades the screen, but I never see the dialog. Can anyone help me out?

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
    <td style="padding:0" valign="top">
        <div class="leftsidemenu sidemenu">
            <div class="menusection">
                <div class="menuheader">Test Menu</div>
                <div class="menuitem"><a id="testClick" href="#">Test Click</a></div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </td>
    <td style="padding:0" valign="top"><div class="editor1"><textarea id='editor1'>Testing it out</textarea></div>
    </td>
</tr>
</table>

Here is the javascript that adds the dialog and then opens the dialog.

<script>
    $(document).ready(function () {
        CKEDITOR.replace('editor1', {
            height: 1000
        });

        CKEDITOR.on('instanceCreated', function (ev) {
            var editor = ev.editor;

            CKEDITOR.dialog.add('placeholderDialog', function (editor) {
                return {
                    title: 'Link Properties',
                    minWidth: 400, minHeight: 200,
                    contents:
                    [
                        {
                            id: 'general', label: 'Settings',
                            elements:
                            [
                                {
                                    type: 'html', html: 'This dialog window lets you create simple links for your website.'
                                }
                            ]
                        }
                    ]
                };
            });
        });

        $("#testClick").click(function () {
            CKEDITOR.instances.editor1.openDialog('placeholderDialog');
        });

    });
</script>

--- Answer ---

It seems like you aren't able to reply to your own posts... but here is the answer:

    CKEDITOR.replace('editor1', {
        height: 1000
    });

Needs to be *after*

    CKEDITOR.on('instanceCreated', fun...

Because otherwise the instance is already created and the instanceCreated event has already happened.
