I have the following scenario:
- Area A -> PartialView A -> It is using Ajax.BeginForm calling action "Save" on Controller A
- Area B -> View B
I inserted "PartialView A" into "View B" but the Ajax.BeginForm form action is calling Controller B action instead of Controller A.
PartialView A:
#using (Ajax.BeginForm(null, null, new AjaxOptions<br>
{
Url = Url.Action("Save", "ControllerA", null, Request.Url.Scheme),
HttpMethod = "Post",
}
Controller A action:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Save(Model model)
{
}
My goal is to reuse/insert the partial view into other views without having to add any other action to the view's controller. How to solve this scenario? Thank you very much for any help.
why not just simply use the Ajax.BeginForm params?
#using (Ajax.BeginForm("Save", "ControllerA", null, new AjaxOptions(){
HttpMethod = "POST"
}, new { id = "someRandomForm" }))
{
<div>
<!-- your html code -->
</div>
}
add null after controller parameter and before the new AjaxOptions() parameter to somehow make us hit the controller we wanted, which is ControllerA
I couldn't make the Ajax.BeginForm to work as I want so my workaround was to use JQuery ajax call using the specific controller/action I need to invoke.
can you try this
#using (Ajax.BeginForm("Save", "ControllerA", new AjaxOptions() { HttpMethod = "POST" }))

I want to show a success message after calling the following ajax.beginform
from Index view
#using (Ajax.BeginForm("Insert", "Home", new AjaxOptions() { UpdateTargetId = "result", HttpMethod = "POST" }))
{
#Html.TextAreaFor(m => m.openion)
}
this is my result div
<div id="result">
</div>
and my controller is
[Httppost]
public ActionResult InforMessage(openionModel usr)
{
return Content("Thanks for adding your openion");
}
but when i try this it is going to another view InforMessage
It is not updating the result div.
There is no Informessage Exist. Still it open a new page with message
"Thanks for adding your openion".How to solve this?
If your redirecting to another page its because you do not have the correct scripts loaded (or have duplicates or have them in the wrong order) so its doing a normal submit.
Ensure you have included (in order)
jquery-{version}.js
jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.js

I have a problem with Ajax submit. I have a main View where I render a PartialView and inside the last one I load another PartialView. Something like this:
Main view
List of elements -> PartialView 1
Create new element -> PartialView 2 inside PartialView 1
I am using AjaxBeginForm with replace and update options:
#using (Ajax.BeginForm("Create", "MyController",
new AjaxOptions { InsertionMode = InsertionMode.Replace, UpdateTargetId = "form0", HttpMethod = "POST" }))
My problem is that submit works very well first time. It saves the new element and re-render the PartialView 1 ( it updates my list ). If want to submit again it will redirect me to PartialView 1.
Why is happening that and what is wrong in my code? How can I do it ?
Here's my controller action:
[HttpPost]
public PartialViewResult Create(Model viewModel)
{
viewModel.Save(viewModel.FormModel);
var newViewModel = new DefaultViewModel(viewModel.xID,viewModel.yID);
return PartialView("_DefaultPartialView", newViewModel);
}
It's ok my action returns a PartialView? It should be of type JsonResult ?
And PartialView 1:
#using (Ajax.BeginForm("CreateBehaviorLog", "BehaviorLog", new AjaxOptions { InsertionMode = InsertionMode.Replace, UpdateTargetId = "form0", HttpMethod = "POST" }))
{
#model DefaultViewModel
#Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquery")
<h2>Title</h2>
{ Html.RenderPartial("PartialView2", Model.ModelForPartialView2); }
<div id="listOfELements">
#foreach(var item in Model.X)
{
--list--
}
</div>
}
Thank you.
UPDATE:
I fixed this ( it was a very newbie mistake ). I'll post tomorrow my answer because now it's kinda late and I need to sleep!
So, first of all, when you make an Ajax call be sure you included everything you need. Here I mean:
Be sure to have <add key="UnobtrusiveJavaScriptEnabled"
value="true"/> in your webconfig.
Be sure you have included the script in the page.
If you are using the latest jQuery you need to change live function with on in your unobtrusive script.
Btw, if you have the problem mentioned above here is what I have done first time ( it is changed now because it's not such a good solution ) :
MainView
#using (Ajax.BeginForm("Create", "MyController",
new AjaxOptions { InsertionMode = InsertionMode.Replace, UpdateTargetId = "form0", HttpMethod = "POST" }))
{
RenderPartial1
RenderPartial1.2
}
RenderPartial2
..
RenderPartialN
As you can see, I've put AjaxBeginForm outside the Partial1.2 from which I submit, in the MainView. This method wasn't so good because if you need 2 forms what will you do then ?
In the end I quit using AjaxBeginForm and used HtmlBeginForm with ajax post from javascript.
I have a form with some controls. There is a button on the form which loads a partial view. Inside the partial view, there are two required field textboxes along with a button. And when its clicked, I need to display error messages only for textboxes which are inside the partial view, but not for the fields in the actual form. And when I click form's submit button, all error messages must show up.
After partial view is loaded, I am re-initializing the validation plugin as below.
$('#test').removeData("validator");
$.validator.unobtrusive.parse('#test');
I tried using validation attribute described in below thread but its not working. Maybe it works for normally loaded views.
ASP.NET MVC Validation Groups?
However, I can validate individually by calling textbox1.valid() and textbox2.valid(). But I think I am missing standard way of doing it. Any help is appreciated.
you can do this by submitting your partial view using Ajax.BeginForm()
//In Partail View
#model SomeModel
#using (Ajax.BeginForm("SomeActionName", new AjaxOptions { HttpMethod = "POST", UpdateTargetId = "targetId"}))
{
#Html.EditorFor(mode=>model.FirstText)
#Html.EditorFor(mode=>model.SecText)
<input type="submit" value="save">
}
//In Controller
public ActionResult SomeAction(SomeModel model)
{
return PartaiulView(model);
}
here you can validate your Partial View
NOTE: when you submit you form using Ajax.BeginForm you must specify "UpdateTargetId" where your result will be appear on View.
//In View
<div id="targetId">
#Html.Partail("PartialView")
</div>
OR if you want to Redirect to another action if your model is valid then modified your action
public ActionResult SomeAction(SomeModel model)
{
if(ModelState.IsValid)
{
return Json(new {redirect = #Url.Action("SomeAction","SomeController")})
}
return PartaiulView(model);
}
then in partail view you can invoke OnSuccess method of Ajax.BeginForm
#using (Ajax.BeginForm("SomeActionName", new AjaxOptions { HttpMethod = "POST", UpdateTargetId = "targetId",OnSuccess="success"}))
{
}
<script type="text/javascript">
function success(data)
{
if(data.redirect)
{
windows.location = data;
}
}
</script>
check both way which one is suitable to you.
in a webapp I'm using an ASP MVC Ajax form in a modal window. I do not use any specific jQuery code, only some to open the modal window (i.e. showModal() function):
#Ajax.ActionLink("Open", "Add", "Home", new {id = Model.Id}, new AjaxOptions { HttpMethod = "GET", UpdateTargetId = "modal", OnSuccess = "showModal()"})
This code loads my form (partial view) into a div and opens it as a modal window. In the form submit ActionResult I just use the default ModelState object to validate it, and in case of an error I return the same partial view containing model errors. This works fine except for the following situation: when the model contains no errors I want to auto-close the modal window. I tried the following:
#using (Ajax.BeginForm("Save", "Home", new AjaxOptions {HttpMethod = "POST", UpdateTargetId = "modal", OnSuccess = "hideModal(); alert('Saved');"}))
However, when the model contains errors the Ajax call is still valid, so OnSuccess will be called. I tried to solve this by sending an error HttpStatusCode in the partial view, but then the div is not updated with the new html.
I think the only solution is sending a partial view containing javascript code that closes the modal window when the model contains no errors, but this solution is not very neat in my opinion. Any other ideas?
I just had to do the same thing today. The solution I came up with was to return a JsonResult with a property set to true when the action succeeded. In the OnSuccess callback of the AjaxOptions I checked for the property and closed my modal window.
Controller Method
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Hold(JobStatusNoteViewModel model)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
//do work
return Json(new {success = true});
}
return PartialView("JobStatusNote", model);
}
PartialView
<% using (Ajax.BeginForm(new AjaxOptions { UpdateTargetId = "JobStatusForm", OnSuccess = "closePopUp" })) { %>
<div id="JobStatusForm">
<!-- Form -->
</div>
<% } %>
<script>
function closePopUp(data) {
if (data.success) {
//close popup
}
}
</script>
