use HtmlHelper for creating jQuery UI dialogs

Html helpers are开发者_如何学运维 good, and jQuery UI dialogs are easy to use.

I wonder if I can create an HtmlHelper, that can simplify use of dialogs. I mean to create and use even simple jQueryUI dialog you have to put some html and little piece of javascript.

Instead I'm trying to create a helper class, that will provide me similar functionality like we have in System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.

Is that possible, or there is better ways to do that?

You can - I did it : ) Its a bit messy but I have one.

actually.. download the code for the entire mvc project I did as a talk at: http://completedevelopment.blogspot.com/2011/04/learning-mvc-for-web-forms-developer.html

look in the dialogfunctions.js code and the extensions folder for the extension methods for this.
