The id inside jQuery() is a uuid and will be unique every time you
instantiate a new PluginMModal -- even if you called it twice within the
view you would get two different ids. If you want to specify the id
yourself, just do PluginMModal(..., id='your_id').
Anyway, instantiating in the controller should work. Can you show your
controller and view code?
