It works fine for me. I just modified the ASPX code from this article
HTML
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head id="Head1" runat="server">
<title>Untitled Page</title>
<style type = "text/css">
body
{
font-family:Arial;
font-size:10pt;
}
.Description, .Hidden
{
display:none;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<asp:GridView ID="GridView1" HeaderStyle-BackColor="#3AC0F2" HeaderStyle-ForeColor="White"
runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="false">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="Id" ItemStyle-CssClass="Id" HeaderText="Id" ItemStyle-Width="30" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="Name" ItemStyle-CssClass="Name" HeaderText="Name" ItemStyle-Width="150" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="Description" HeaderStyle-CssClass = "Hidden" ItemStyle-CssClass="Description" HeaderText="Description"
ItemStyle-Width="150" />
<asp:TemplateField>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:LinkButton Text="View" ID="lnkView" runat="server" />
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
<div id="dialog" style="display: none">
<b>Id:</b> <span id="id"></span>
<br />
<b>Name:</b> <span id="name"></span>
<br />

</div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).on("click", "[id*=lnkView]", function () {
$("#id").html($(".Id", $(this).closest("tr")).html());
$("#name").html($(".Name", $(this).closest("tr")).html());
$("#description").html($(".Description", $(this).closest("tr")).html());
$("#dialog").dialog({
title: "View Details",
buttons: {
Ok: function () {
$(this).dialog('close');
}
},
modal: true
});
return false;
});
</script>
</form>
</body>
</html>
