Opening jquery dialog

I have a jquery dialog box that i'm trying to open on the click of a hyper link. I'm just writing some generic stuff but not functioning as I expect. When I click the link the dialog opens but has the whole page rather than my selection. The end goal is to make the dialog dynamic based on each link but I'm not seeing my initial error.

New to ajax and each time I have to use it always have issues.

Thanks

<div>
<a href="#" id="tester" onclick="openBox(); return false;"> Open the box</a>


    function openBox(url) {
    var tag = $("<div> Stuff here </div>");
    $.ajax({
        url: url,
        success: function (data) {
            tag.html(data).dialog({ modal: true }).dialog("open");
        }
    });
}//ends open box

You have to pass the URL value to the function

it should be 

onCLick="openBox("somevalue");
