Hello friends

I am having a webgrid which is having href link in mvc3.

Now, when a link is clicked, then response is returned with some records from server that i want to display on a popup window (data will be comming from server after running a new query in controller after clicking that link and than shown in pop up window).

But i dont want to open a new window. i want to open it in a popup on same browser page.

i dont know weather I have to use jQuery or AJAX.But i want to implement same functionality.

Please help me to acheive this

Thanks in advance

You are confused. AJAX and jQuery are not contradictions, they are two complementary things. You should use jquery to make AJAX calls. AJAX cannot show your popup, but it is the ONLY way to contact the server without refreshing your page.

As someone else said, there are a number of jquery libraries for popup windows. I would look for something that is a lightbox, not a modal popup. Then make your AJAX call, get your data, and populate your lightbox in javascript, using jquery.
