asp.net webforms c# and jQuery

Question

Using ASP.NET  C# webforms can someone show me how to use jQuery to open a modal that with two button save cancel  this would also contain a text box that must have a value entered before the save button is allowed so I would use the RequiredFieldValidator it value is entered the user would press save and it would call a delegate on the parent page saying something has been successfully posted. A Message would then say success + textbox.Text;

Perhaps my thoughts are wrong I am tying to do postbacks to the server using  server controls in asp.net. What are best practice?
I just want to get  a feel for how to use jQuey with Asp.Net Webforms.

thanks in advance.

The client machines NEEDS the .net framework that your app was written with. You can get the resistibutable here http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=262D25E3-F589-4842-8157-034D1E7CF3A3&displaylang=en Install this and you should just be able to copy the exe onto the client and it will run. You can deploy it if you wish to have the add/remove program stuff. To do this in VS.Pro (sorry have not seen standard so it might not help). Start a new project and select setup and deployment and pick setup project. Then add the built exe you wish to deploy, you can also add registry and shortcust stuff with this windows installer project. The only thing I could not get it to do was to install the framework (something to do with windows installer using it!?!). We had to switch to install sheild and write a proper setup to bundle it in.
