I am writing a MVC3 project. Right now I have a table which has column with Data as actionLinks as:

<td style="color: Black; background-color: Bisque; text-align: center; width: 410px">
                @Html.ActionLink(@item.LookUp_NameString, "EditPartial", "Capitation", new { id = item.CAPITATION_RATE_ID }, new { @class = "actionLink" })
            </td>

EditPartial as the name suggests is a partial view, which I need to be opened as a pop-up menu so that user can edit the details of the object save it and we can come back to original page.

Thanks for the help!

You could use jQuery and jQueryUi to capture the click and open the rendered action in a dialog box.

<div id="popupWindow" style="display: none;" ></div>

<script type="text/javascript">     
    $(function() {
        $("#popupWindow").dialog({
            width: 600,
            autoOpen: false
        }); 

        $('a.actionLink').click(function() {
            var url = $(this).attr('href');
            $('#popupWindow').load(url, function() {
                $('#popupWindow').dialog('open');
            });
            return false;
        });
    }); 
</script>
