    @*<a class="anchor-horizontal pull-right" href="#">Create a new one</a>*@
</div>

this is my login partial view and following is my × Create New Account

    <form id="frmLogin" class="form-horizontal" role="form">

            <div class="form-group">
                <div class="editor-label">
                    @Html.LabelFor(model => model.USER_EMAIL, "Your Email", new { @class = "col-sm-2 control-label" })
                </div>
                <div class="col-sm-10 editor-field">
                    @Html.EditorFor(model => model.USER_EMAIL, new { @class = "form-control" })
                    @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.USER_EMAIL)
                </div>
            </div>

            <div class="form-group">
                <div class="editor-label">
                    @Html.LabelFor(model => model.USER_PASSWORD, "Choose Password", new { @class = "col-sm-2 control-label" })
                </div>
                <div class="col-sm-10 editor-field">
                    @Html.EditorFor(model => model.USER_PASSWORD, new { @class = "form-control" })
                    @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.USER_PASSWORD)
                </div>
            </div>

            <div class="form-group">
                <div class="editor-label">
                    @Html.LabelFor(model => model.USER_CONFIRMPASSWORD, "Confirm Password", new { @class = "col-sm-2 control-label" })
                </div>
                <div class=" col-sm-10 editor-field">
                    @Html.EditorFor(model => model.USER_CONFIRMPASSWORD, new { @class = "form-control" })
                    @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.USER_CONFIRMPASSWORD)
                </div>
            </div>

            <div class="editor-label">
                @Html.LabelFor(model => model.USER_MOBILENO, "Your Mobile No", new { @class = "col-sm-2 control-label" })
            </div>
            <div class="col-sm-10 editor-field">
                @Html.EditorFor(model => model.USER_MOBILENO, new { @class = "form-control" })
                @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.USER_MOBILENO)
            </div>

            <div class="form-group">
                <div class="col-sm-offset-2 col-sm-10">
                    <button id="btnRegister" type="submit" class="btn btn-danger">Create My Account</button>
                </div>
            </div>
    </form>

</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
    @Html.ActionLink("Back to List", "Login","Home",null,new { @class = "anchor-horizontal pull-left"})
</div>

}

this is my js which is opening my modal.

//open bootstrap modal
$('body').on('click', '.modal-link', function (e) {
    debugger;
    e.preventDefault();
    $(this).attr('data-target', '#basicModal');
    $(this).attr('data-toggle', 'modal');
});

//Attach listener to .modal-close-btn's so that when the button is pressed the modal dialog disappears
$('body').on('click', '.modal-close-btn', function () {
    debugger;
    $('#basicModal').modal('hide');
});

//clear modal cache, so that new content can be loaded.
$('#basicModal').on('hidden.bs.modal', function () {
    debugger;
    $(this).removeData('bs.modal');
});

and my controller action method is.

    [HttpGet]
    public ActionResult Register()
    {
         return PartialView("_register");
    }

but when i click on the create new its opening the register view in a complete page rather than inside the modal.

Maybe you can do something like this, load partial direct in modal att

<a data-toggle="modal" href="http://fiddle.jshell.net/bHmRB/51/show/" data-target="#myModal">Click me !</a>

<!-- Modal --> <div class="modal fade" id="myModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">
    <div class="modal-dialog">
        <div class="modal-content">
            <div class="modal-header">
                <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">&times;</button>
                 <h4 class="modal-title">Modal title</h4>

            </div>
            <div class="modal-body"><div class="te"></div></div>
            <div class="modal-footer">
                <button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
                <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Save changes</button>
            </div>
        </div>
        <!-- /.modal-content -->
    </div>
    <!-- /.modal-dialog --> </div> <!-- /.modal -->
