Open Jquery Popup from CI Controller?

[eluser]ShawnMA[/eluser]
Could someone point me to an example of how to open a jquery (modal dialog) from a CI controller? In other words, page A passes data to my controller, controller does some processing, then passes the results to page B, but on top of page B I need to open a Jquery dialog box once page B has finished loading. The dialog box may/may not contain some data passed to it from the controller.

Thanks.

Use ajax instead in the first page.

Code:

jQuery.post(yourBasepath+'/controller/ajax_method', jQuery('#form_id').serialize(), function(html_data){
   //Modal plugin that shows response. Colorbox?

} );

Are you understanding that the modal is not a new window? The modal is actually just hidden html that displays when you want it to, using show().
