title: Make a dialogue box pop up in MVC4
body: <p>I'm working on a MVC4 project where I need to create a pop up notification when a user logs in if they have certain expired criteria. However, I actually have no idea what the best method for doing this might be. Some solutions I've found so far seem to recommend a jQuery, but as I'm unfamiliar with the use of them, I was hoping to avoid this method for now if possible - I'm looking for what could be considered a 'caveman' solution for this issue, so that I can better build upon it and develop an understanding, rather than trying to implement something far beyond my skills and digging a deeper hole for myself. </p>
  
  <p>As I am most familiar with WinForms, I had originally hoped there was something similar to the MessageBox.Show capability. Sending the user to another View entirely is an option, but business logic dictates that a pop up with an 'OK' button to make it disappear would be cleaner.</p>
  
  <p>Please let me know what your thoughts are or if I'm unclear about what I'm trying to achieve!</p>
