Question

I’m creating an ASP.Net MVC website. I’ve to display some text in some modal windows. I found several plugins of jQuery which makes a modal windows, but the content is generated on the client.

I need to call the server, e.g. when I’ve to display my modal windows, got to the server and load the page X-Y-Z as content of the modal windows.

If I can customize the modal windows(The goal is to have the possibility to have non-rectangle modal windows.

I searched some plugins of this kind, but for now I found only modal windows with javascript content.

Do you know one pluging which does this?

In addition, it seems that the plugin subdomain of jquery is down 🙁

Have a look at jQuery load.

Something like this will give you want you want:

HTML

<a href="your-page" id="ModalDialogOpenLink">open</a>
<div id="ModalDialogDiv"></div>

jQuery

$('#ModalDialogOpenLink').click(function () {
    $('#ModalDialogDiv').load(this.href, function () {
        $(this).dialog();
    });
    return false;
});

Edit I’ve added the html markup as well.
