In SharePoint 2010 we used to JavaScript to open the Url in a modal dialog. in SharePoint 2010 we used to write JavaScript to make the Url open in the modal dialog. If we write EditControlBlock actions we used JavaScript as follows
<CustomAction
Id="Custom.ProvisionGroup"
Location="EditControlBlock"
Title="My Custom Action"
RegistrationType="ContentType"
RegistrationId="0x01"
ImageUrl="/_layouts/images/editicon.gif" >
<UrlAction Url="javascript:OpenPopUpPageWithTitle('{SiteUrl}/_layouts/myCustom/default.aspx?List={ListId}&ID={ItemId}', RefreshOnDialogClose, 600, 400,'My Custom Action')" />
</CustomAction>
In SharePoint 2013 using JavaScript encountered
Error occurred in deployment step 'Install app for SharePoint': There were errors when validating the App Package.
Thus for SharePoint 2013 we need to use three special attributes in CustomAction
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<CustomAction Id="a266876f-6356-4342-91a3-ef3d55b1e570.MenuItemCustomAction1"
RegistrationType="ContentType"
RegistrationId="0x01"
Location="EditControlBlock"
Sequence="10001"
Title="Invoke 'MenuItemCustomAction1' action"
HostWebDialog="TRUE"
HostWebDialogHeight="420"
HostWebDialogWidth="510"
>
<!--
Update the Url below to the page you want the custom action to use.
Start the URL with the token ~remoteAppUrl if the page is in the
associated web project, use ~appWebUrl if page is in the app project.
-->
<UrlAction Url="~appWebUrl/Pages/Default.aspx?{StandardTokens}&SPListItemId={ItemId}&SPListId={ListId}"/>
</CustomAction>
</Elements>
