After Using the Ajax.ActionLink As
#Ajax.ActionLink("Edit", "AddEdit", new { #id = id, #recId = item.EncyclopediaID }, new AjaxOptions { InsertionMode = InsertionMode.Replace, UpdateTargetId = "listForm" }, new { #class = "edit_icon", #title = "edit this item" })
And When Controller Go to AddEdit Page There i have Uploaded the File and want to show the Ckeditor.
So i use
#using (Html.BeginForm("AddEdit", "Encyclopedia", FormMethod.Post, new { enctype = "multipart/form-data" }))
{
/////////other code//////////////////
#Html.EditorFor(model => model.Description,"CKEditor")
}
Now if i use to show the #Html.ActionLink instead of #Ajax.Actionlink Ckeditor Shows perfectly and in Ajax call it showed like a textarea.
Please Help.
this happens because resource files required for ckeditor to work correctly (eg: css , javascript) cannot be downloaded with an ajax call.
try referencing the required resource files in layout view page and try again.
Edit :
maybe you have placed integration code in document.ready function, thus after ajax request completed and you markup changed, the new markup (eg:your new input element) is not configured as ckeditor input.so try calling ckeditor integration code after ajax success.

I am trying to update page with server time using ajax.actionlink; i was able to do this in regular js. Now ajax takes me to new page and its url is home/serverTime ;serverTime is my homecontroller action. Surprisingly the code works even without referencing MicrosoftAjax/ MicrosoftMvcAjax. I am using VS 2013 mvc 4.5
#{
ViewBag.Title = "Home Page";
}
<h2>Ajax</h2>
<div class="jumbotron" id="display">
#Ajax.ActionLink("click here get time", "ServerTime",
new AjaxOptions
{
HttpMethod = "GET",
UpdateTargetId = "display"
})
</div>
This is the story:
I am making a commenting system, and when a user wants to add a comment they need to put data in a text area. I want to take that value typed by the user and make an #Ajax link which is to send that as a parameter to a controller.
I am using ASP.NET MVC5, and in my View() I have the following:
<textarea class="textArea" rows="3"></textarea>
<br />
#Ajax.ActionLink("Send",
"AddComment",
new { parametar = 0 , Contents = GetText() },
new AjaxOptions
{
UpdateTargetId = "beforeThis",
InsertionMode = InsertionMode.InsertBefore,
HttpMethod = "GET"
},
new { #class = "postavi btn btn-primary" })
I tried inserting under this the following:
<script type="text/javascript">
function GetText() {
return "hello there!";
}
</script>
I have in error saying that:
the name GetText does not exists in the current Context
(this is in the parameters of the #Ajax.ActionLink)
It seems I cannot integrate javascript (which could fetch me this value and razor code) How do I work this out???
PS> I have searched around for this, and either the answers for much earlier versions of MVC or the answers did not worked when I tried the same.
Make sure that you import this namespace:
using System.Web.Mvc.Ajax
You might add an event handler to the ajax link to update a custom route value.
#Ajax.ActionLink("Click", "Send", new {id = "xxx"}, new AjaxOptions(){}, new { onclick = "addParameter(this)" })
function addParameter(e) {
e.href = e.href.replace("xxx", "HelloWord");
}
What you are doing now is that you want the razor to call your JavaScript code and this is impossible. This is because Views will be rendered to HTML by Razor before they are sent to the client and Razor doesn't know about the JavaScript code, it only knows C#. All JavaScript code runs on the browser.
I suggest you use the POST method to send your comments.
You can use this code to send them:
#using (Ajax.BeginForm("AddComment", new { parametar = 0 }, new AjaxOptions()
{
UpdateTargetId = "beforeThis",
InsertionMode = InsertionMode.InsertBefore,
HttpMethod = "POST",
Url = Url.Action("AddComment")
}))
{
#Html.TextArea("Contents")
<input type="submit" value="Send" class="postavi btn btn-primary" />
}
I have a form which loads within a fancybox so that if the user clicks on a link, a form loads up in fancybox, its an #Ajax.BeginForm(). Like so:
#using (Ajax.BeginForm("AddToBasket", new { controller = "Orders" }, new AjaxOptions()
{
InsertionMode = InsertionMode.Replace,
UpdateTargetId = "SuccessBasket",
OnSuccess = "goToCheckout"
}, new { #class = "product-order-form" }))
{
#* Form elements for Model *#
<div id="SuccessBasket"></div>
}
This gets loaded up in a fancybox window. When I submit the form, my SuccessBasket div does not get updated with the new content passed from the controller, is there some way to enable Ajax calls to be updated within Fancybox? This works fine if I don't use fancybox but I wish to use it.
EDIT:
The form is loaded like so:
#Ajax.ActionLink("Order", "OrderProduct", new { controller = "Orders", id = ViewData["ID"], search = ViewData["search"] }, new AjaxOptions()
{
UpdateTargetId = "ModalWindow",
InsertionMode = InsertionMode.Replace,
OnFailure = "NotAuthorised"
}, new { #class = "lightbox order-link" })
I have an empty div called ModalWindow which is wrapped by a div set to display: none as per the instructions:
<div style="display: none">
<div id="ModalWindow">
</div>
</div>
OrderProduct Action in my controller returns a PartialView:
return PartialView("_OrderProduct", basket);
Where basket is my model BasketModel basket = new BasketModel();
My _OrderProduct PartialView is the view which contains the Ajax form at the start of my post. Which has the SuccessBasket div.
Upto this point, it works perfectly. The form loads up in fancybox.
The AddToBasket Action returns a PartialView:
return PartialView("_BasketSuccess");
This view simply tells the user that their item was added to the basket:
<p>This item has been added to your basket. Search again or goto #Html.ActionLink("checkout", "Order", new { controller = "Orders" }, new { #class = "checkout-link" }) to continue.</p>
The problem is, the SuccessBasket div does not update with the text above but through debugging, I can see that it does load the view _BasketSuccess, it just doesn't update in the modal window.
The way you are loading the fancybox is strange. You are sending 2 AJAX requests: one for the Ajax.ActionLink and one by the fancybox. All that is not necessary. Also you don't need a hidden div in your main view, the fancybox does all this automatically.
So to recap, in your main view all you need is a simple HTML link to the controller actin which will return a partial containing the form:
#Html.ActionLink("Order", "OrderProduct", "Orders", null, new { #class = "lightbox" })
and in a separate javascript file you will attach the fancybox to this anchor so that when it is clicked it will automatically send an AJAX request (the fancybox, not you), fetch the partial form and show it:
$(function () {
$('.lightbox').fancybox();
});
Alright, now you have a partial form shown in a fancybox. This partial form is actually an Ajax.BeginForm. So when you submit this form it will send an AJAX request to the AddToBasket action and upon success it will update the <div id="SuccessBasket"></div> which is inside this form with the result returned by this action.
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>
I would like to show an AJAX loading icon during an ActionResult request that can take a few seconds to process.
What is the best approach to accomplished this?
I only want to display the icon after the built it validation passes (I am using MVC3, EF Code First, so the validation is automatically put on the page).
There may be further validation/exceptions during the ActionResult, in which case a message is displayed to the user, and I'd then want the loading icon to disappear again.
Define your link as an Ajax action link and specify the ID of a spinning GIF somewhere on your page.
<div id="result"></div>
<img id="spinner" src="../content/ajaxspinner.gif" style="display: none;">
#Ajax.ActionLink("Link Text", "ActionName", "ControllerName", null, new AjaxOptions{UpdateTargetId = "result", LoadingElementId = "spinner"}, null)
or if it is a form:
#using(Ajax.BeginForm("Action", "Controller", null, new AjaxOptions{UpdateTargetId = "result", LoadingElementId = "spinner"}, null))
{
#Html.TextBox("Data")<br/>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
}
Put the image in a div tag like this:
<div id="busydiv" style="display:none;"><img src="busything.gif" /></div>
and then create your link like this:
#Ajax.ActionLink("Link Text", "ActionName", "ControllerName", null, new AjaxOptions { LoadingElementDuration = 1000, LoadingElementId = "busyDiv", HttpMethod = "Post", UpdateTargetId = "targetDiv", OnFailure = "PostFailure", OnSuccess = "PostSuccess", OnComplete = "PostOnComplete" }, null)
or in a form do this:
#using (Ajax.BeginForm("TestAjax", new AjaxOptions { LoadingElementDuration=1000, LoadingElementId="dave", HttpMethod = "Post", UpdateTargetId = "targetDiv", OnFailure = "PostFailure", OnSuccess = "PostSuccess", OnComplete = "PostOnComplete" }))
Obviously omitting those AjaxOptions that you don't need, as per the documentation here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.mvc.ajax.ajaxoptions.aspx
Just my two cents:
The solution posted by Chris is valid and will work BUT you must add a reference to the two javascript libraries below. Please note that the order matters:
<script src="~/scripts/jquery-1.8.0.js"></script>
<script src="~/scripts/jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.js"></script>
When you create an MVC application pre-loaded with bundling and all these nu-get packages this will probably not be a problem for you but if you were like me and created an empty ASP.NET MVC application you might run into issues.
