Not in this method. I do have the Details method in the Client controller.

It used to work with Load method (http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/partnerdevaspnet/thread/61443760-bd03-4e31-95a4-7d6f4ce4f39a - partner forum's thread).

Some original code partially working with other problems:

var $dlg = $("#sform").dialog({
    autoOpen: false,
    show: "blind",
    closeOnEscape: true,
    resizable: true,
    width: 1200,
    height: 750,
    minHeight: 600,
    minWidth: 950
});

function RunModalDialog(title, url)
{
    
    if (title)
        $dlg.dialog("option", {  "title": title });

    if (url)
       
        $dlg.load(url, function () {
            $dlg.dialog("open");
        });
    else
      $dlg.dialog("open");
}

function add(com, grid){
    RunModalDialog("Create New Client");

    clearForm();
    $('#fntype').val('Add');
}
 
function edit(com, grid)
{
        $('.trSelected', grid).each(function () {
          
                var id = $(this).attr('id');
                id = id.substring(id.lastIndexOf('row') + 3);
                currentId = id;
                $('#fntype').val('Edit');
                var ClientName;
                ClientName =$('.trSelected td:eq(2)').text();
               var url = '/Client/Edit/' + id;            
            
               RunModalDialog("Edit Client: " + ClientName, url);
        });

    }
