Open Ajax Dialog with JavaScript
Drupal is fully integrated with jQuery and Ajax, but still suffers from a lack of documentation,
Here I'm going light things a bit, helping you to create & understand how drupal creates pop-up dialog from the js script running on the current page.
Code Snippet
var ajaxSettings = {
url: '/node/1',
dialogType: 'modal',
dialog: { width: 400 },
};
var myAjaxObject = Drupal.ajax(ajaxSettings);
myAjaxObject.execute();
