>You will have problems with scripts missing using partials if the pop-up opens them in an inline frame (since inline frames are basically brand new web pages). As opposed to some libraries which just create a div that appears to "float" over the current page (since that's still in the same page as the rest of your content).

Usually when some JS library doesn't appear to be working I'll open up the JS debugger and watch for any errors that occur when this appear to "no work". This includes taking a look at any network traffic failures where it requests some page but the page fails.

The dialog looks very nice, but I don't see how to use an url here.
