If you really want to have a pop-up and don't want to deal with Ajax at all, then I would suggest fancybox <http://fancybox.net> It is actually an iframe, but gives you a popup like feeling and you can use your normal controller, just that in click of a link, it will open the fancybox and serve you in the iframe.
