Answer 1

So you use this:

var theDialog = $("#divDialog").dialog(opt);
theDialog.dialog("open");

and if you open a MVC Partial View in Dialog, you can create in index a hidden button and JQUERY click event:

$("#YourButton").click(function()
{
   theDialog.dialog("open");
   OR
   theDialog.dialog("close");
});

then inside partial view html you call button trigger click like:

$("#YouButton").trigger("click")

see ya.
