There is one interesting widget in jquery-ui: dialog window.

But I can’t find in it’s description that it could be filled with ajax source.

Maybe I’ve missed something…

I want a new message create form to be in opened modal window.

It all depends on what do you want to do.
Keep in mind that “dialog” is a UI component.

For the ajax part, you can of course fill its content like this :

var dialogOptions = {
        title: "A dilaog with ajax content",
        modal: true,
        height: 200,
        width: 200,
        open: function() {
          $(this).load("http://a/path/to/remote/data");}
        };

$("#dialog-message").dialog(dialogOptions );

Then you can call the “dialog” to open like this :

$("#dialog-message").dialog("open");
