you need to add a jQuery UI dialog open function
http://api.jqueryui.com/dialog/#method-open
you will have to run this locally or on the same server since the jsfiddle cant pull your external file due to same origin policy

$(function() {
$("#griffin").dialog({
autoOpen: true,
modal: true,
width: 950,
height: 'auto',
show: 'fade',
hide: 'fade',
position: {my: "center top", at:"center top", of: window },
buttons: {
"I have Read and Understand": function() {
$(this).dialog("close");
}
},
// add this
open:function(event,ui){
$("#griffin").html("");
$("#griffin").load($(".griffin-style").attr("href"), function() {
$("#griffin").dialog("option", "title", $(this).find("h1").text());
$(".griffin-style").find("h1").remove();
});
}
});
$(".griffin-style").on("click", function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$("#griffin").html("");
$("#griffin").dialog("option", "title", "Loading...").dialog("open");
$("#griffin").load(this.href, function() {
$("#griffin").dialog("option", "title", $(this).find("h1").text());
$(this).find("h1").remove();
});
});
});
