I am making an ASP.NET application. I have a page which displays a list of data [as a GridView].
I need to display a list of objects [as a GridView] in a new view over the current view, not a new window but a kind of AJAX popup, so that the context shiftes on the page to the new view/form!!
Shall i use Modal Window for this? If so, how shall I do it, as the function to open the modal shall be fired when an item of the GridView is selected?
Is there any plugin which can simplify my task?
There is a good plugin called blockUI for jQuery that will let you achieve this quite easily.
You can use it to show any HTML that you desire or even load an iFrame using that. You can download this plugin and find examples here

If you post some sample code I can probably help you create your modal pop up!
Please do vote up my answer or mark the checkbox next to it, if I helped you at all. Thanks 🙂
