I made a slight change but I still can not get it work for me. I can see the get request returns correct HTML (I am looking at Net tab in FireBug, but still the form comes blank).

Here is what I see (see attached). The last request does return correct HTML, I tested.

My latest code is

 var url = '/Client/Edit/' + id ;

                $.getJSON(url, function (html) {
                    //  setFormControls(data.Id, data.Role, data.Location, data.JobType, data.Description);
                    // alert(data);
                    $('#editor').html(html);
                });
               //location.replace(url);
               RunModalDialog("Edit Client: " + ClientName);

and the controller's code:

  public ActionResult Edit(int id)
        {
            ClientViewModel model = new ClientViewModel(); 
            var client = Db.GetClientById(id);
            model.Client = client;
            
            return PartialView("_ClientForm",model);
        }

Do you see what is missing?
