Ajax.BeginForm with UpdateTarget Inside AjaxForm - ajax

Is this possible to use Ajax.Beginform with update target inside of ajax form. like this:
using(Ajax.BeginForm("EditPhone", new { id = item.Id.Value }, new AjaxOptions {
UpdateTargetId = "TRTarget"})) {
<tr class="gradeA odd" id="TRTarget">
<input type"submit" value="submit" />
</tr>
}
Update
OK if it's possible so what is wrong with this?
This is my partial view that another partial view rendered inside it:
using(Ajax.BeginForm("EditPhone", new { id = item.Id.Value }, new AjaxOptions {
UpdateTargetId = "TRTarget"})) {
<tr class="gradeA odd" id="TRTarget">
#{Html.RenderPartial("_PhoneRow", item);}
</tr>
}
and _PhoneRow:
#model MyModel
<td>#Html.DisplayFor(model=>model.Number)</td>
<td>#Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => Model.PhoneKind)</td>
<td><input type="submit" value="Edit" class="button" /></td>
And EditPhone Action:
public ActionResult EditPhone(long Id){
//Get model
return PartialView("_EditPhoneRow", model);
}
And _EditPhoneRow:
<td>#Html.EditorFor(model => model.MainModel.Number)</td>
<td>#Html.EditorFor(model => model.MainModel.PhoneKind)</td>
<td><input type="submit" value="Save" class="button" /></td>
Actually each of my rows have an Ajax form so when click on edit I want to replace the row with another as you see, but when I add the Edit, all of my page destroyed and just _EditPhoneRow shown like I select all page for updateTrget where is the problem? and what is your suggestion to change all the specific row like this?

According to the HTML specification forms cannot be nested. This produces invalid HTML and depending on the user agent either the outer or the inner <form> simply won't work. That's a limitation of the HTML specification, don't be confused with ASP.NET MVC, it has nothing to do with it. One possibility is to replace your Ajax.BeginForm with an Ajax.ActionLink:
<tr class="gradeA odd" id="TRTarget">
#Ajax.ActionLink(
"Submit",
"EditPhone",
new { id = item.Id.Value },
new AjaxOptions { UpdateTargetId = "TRTarget" }
)
</tr>
UPDATE:
After you have updated your question and explained the symptoms I think you might have forgotten to reference the jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.min.js script to your page:
<script type="text/javascript" src="#Url.Content("~/scripts/jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.min.js")"></script>
If you don't include this script the Ajax.* helpers such as Ajax.BeginForm and Ajax.ActionLink will be simple HTML forms and anchors. No AJAX at all. It is this script that reads the HTML5 data-* attributes emitted by those helpers and unobtrusively AJAXifies them.

Ajax.BeginForm preload data

I have this view and everything fine with Ajax.BeginForm:
<h2>Index</h2>
#using (Ajax.BeginForm("Search", new AjaxOptions {
HttpMethod = "GET",
InsertionMode = InsertionMode.Replace,
UpdateTargetId = "users"
})) {
<input name="q" type="text" />
<input type="submit" value="Search" />
}
<div class="table-responsive" id="users">
</div>
But, i have a little question.
Right now, when i open this page, there are no table with data - it loads only when form is submitted.
So, my question: is it possible to have preload data (without adding other code)?
When page is loaded, i would like to have already all data without filtering (input uses for filtering when value is typed and form submitted).
Just call your Search action from users div when the page loads. You may not specify any parameter or use the default one. I assume you have something like this:
public ActionResult Search(string q)
{
var users = _usersRepository.GetAll();
if(!string.IsNullOrEmpty(q))
users = users.Where(user => string.Equals(user.Name, q));
return PartialView("_Search", users);
}
And in the view:
<div class="table-responsive" id="users">
#Html.Action("Search")
</div>

Ajax in ASP.NET MVC3 Razor

I have a problem with Ajax.
I want to make multiple forms and replace div containing one after submiting with some Partial View. It's working for me when I use only one form. I don't know what I'm doing wrong here. Maybe it's becasue of custom editorfor?
Here is my code, plese try to help me, I've been trying do this for 2 days.
Index
#model MetriceWeb.Models.TaskInputModel
#{
ViewBag.Title = "Tasks";
}
<h3>
Tasks</h3>
#if (Model.Values.Count == 0)
{
<p>No pendings forms for you at the moment</p>
}
else
{
#Html.EditorFor(x => x.Values)
}
TaskInputValue (editorfor)
#model MetriceWeb.Models.TaskInputValue
#{string s = "task" + Model.TaskId;}
#using (Ajax.BeginForm("GetFromLibrary", "Metrice", new AjaxOptions
{
HttpMethod = "Get",
UpdateTargetId = s,
InsertionMode = InsertionMode.Replace
}))
{
<div class="editor-field" id="#s">
#Html.HiddenFor(x => x.TaskId, new { #class = "TaskId" , id = "TaskId" })
#Html.HiddenFor(x => x.InputId, new { #class = "InputId" })
<h2>
#Html.DisplayFor(x => x.Task)
</h2>
<span>Created: </span>
#Html.DisplayFor(x => x.Date)
<div>
Input Value
#Html.EditorFor(x => x.DateValue)
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(x => x.DateValue)
</div>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</div>
<br />
}
It's entering method in my controller where I'm returning partial view. After submitting my div isn't replacing, the whole new site is loaded. What is wrong here? Please help me, I am in big need.
In order to the Ajax helpers like Ajax.BeginForm work correctly (e.g sending an AJAX request) you need reference in your view the following JavaScript file
jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.js
(and of course before that jquery)
From the Unobtrusive Ajax in ASP.NET MVC 3
An interesting note: since there is no actual JavaScript being emitted
when you use unobtrusive Ajax, if you forget to include one or the
other script, you won’t see any errors when attempting to submit the
Ajax request; it will simply behave like a non-Ajax request.

Submitting form in asp razor with Ajax

I have a problem with submitting form in asp razor. Im using Ajax. I have collection and I am making a form for each element in it. I want to pass again an Id of submited element.
Here is my code:
#for(int i=0; i < Model.Models.Length; i++)
{
string s = "metriceDiv" + Model.Models[i].Id;
using (Ajax.BeginForm("Bookmark", "Metrice", new AjaxOptions
{
HttpMethod = "Get",
UpdateTargetId = "metriceDiv" + Model.Models[i].Id,
InsertionMode = InsertionMode.Replace
}))
{
<div id="#s">
<br />
<table>
<tr>
<th>
#Html.HiddenFor(model => model.Models[i].Id)
<input type="submit" value="Bookmark" />
</th>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
It's only working when I submit first element. Every other element gives me null in model. What can I do to get Id of any element? Can I put this value to the additional field in my model?
try to set one id for all element and check are null Again. your hiddenFor edit with it :
#Html.HiddenFor(model => model.Models[0].Id)

MVC3 Razor Partial view render does not include data- validation attributes

I have a farily straight forward form that renders personal data as a partial view in the center of the form. I can not get client side validation to work on this form.
I started chasing down the generate html and came up with the same model field rendered on a standard form and a partial view.
I noticed that the input elements are correctly populated on the first call, #html.partial, the following only happens when the partialview is reloaded via an ajax request.
First the header of my partial view, this is within a Ajax.BeginForm on the main page.
#model MvcMPAPool.ViewModels.EventRegistration
<script src="#Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.validate.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="#Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function ()
{
$(".phoneMask").mask("(999) 999-9999");
});
</script>
#{
var nPhn = 0;
var dTotal = 0.0D;
var ajaxOpts = new AjaxOptions{ HttpMethod="Post", UpdateTargetId="idRegistrationSummary", OnSuccess="PostOnSuccess" };
Html.EnableClientValidation( true );
Html.EnableUnobtrusiveJavaScript( true );
}
Here is the razor markup from the partial view:
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model=>Model.Player.Person.Addresses[0].PostalCode)
<table>
<tr>
<td style="width:200px;">City*</td>
<td>State</td>
<td>Zip/Postal Code</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>#Html.TextBoxFor(p=>Model.Player.Person.Addresses[0].CityName, new { style="width:200px;", maxlength=50 })</td>
<td>
#Html.DropDownListFor(p=> Model.Player.Person.Addresses[0].StateCode
, MPAUtils.GetStateList(Model.Player.Person.Addresses[0].StateCode))</td>
<td>
<div class="editor-field">
#Html.TextBoxFor(p=>Model.Player.Person.Addresses[0].PostalCode, new { style="width:80px;", maxlength=10 })
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Here is the rendered field from the partial view:
<td>
<div class="editor-field">
<input id="Player_Person_Addresses_0__PostalCode" maxlength="10" name="Player.Person.Addresses[0].PostalCode" style="width:80px;" type="text" value="" />
</div>
</td>
Here is the same model field rendered in a standard view:
<div class="editor-field">
<input data-val="true" data-val-length="The field Postal/Zip Code must be a string with a maximum length of 10." data-val-length-max="10" data-val-required="Postal or Zip code must be provided!" id="Person_Addresses_0__PostalCode" maxlength="10" name="Person.Addresses[0].PostalCode" title="Postal/Zip Code is required" type="text" value="" />
<span class="field-validation-valid" data-valmsg-for="Person.Addresses[0].PostalCode" data-valmsg-replace="true"></span>
</div>
Notice that the partial view rendering has no data-val-xxx attributes on the input element.
Is this correct? I do not see how the client side validation could work without these attributes, or am I missing something basic here?
In order to create the unobtrusive validation attributes, a FormContext must exist. Add the following at the top of your partial view:
if (this.ViewContext.FormContext == null)
{
this.ViewContext.FormContext = new FormContext();
}
If you want the data validation tags to be there, you need to be in a FormContext. Hence, if you're dynamically generating parts of your form, you need to include the following line in your partial view:
#{ if(ViewContext.FormContext == null) {ViewContext.FormContext = new FormContext(); }}
You then need to make sure you dynamically rebind your unobtrusive validation each time you add/remove items:
$("#form").removeData("validator");
$("#form").removeData("unobtrusiveValidation");
$.validator.unobtrusive.parse("#form");

ASP.NET MVC posting with Ajax.BeginForm returns blank view

I have a page that contains multiple inputs - I'm using Ajax.BeginForm to build a form for each set of inputs.
<% using (Ajax.BeginForm(new AjaxOptions() { InsertionMode = InsertionMode.InsertAfter, HttpMethod = "POST" }))
{ %>
<input class="smallInput" type="text" name="duration"/>
<input type="submit" value="Add" />
<% } %>
The controller looks like this
[AcceptVerbs("POST")]
public ActionResult AddExercise(FormCollection form)
{
// some save logic...
return Content(string.Empty);
}
This works - the data is submitted to my controller and is saved.
However, every time this happens my page is replaced by a blank page. If I explicitly return a View from my Action, that view appears instead. But I want it to submit the form, leaving my existing page in place as-is.
I wasn't including the MVC Ajax javascript files in my page. Adding those includes fixed the problem.
You need to specify the id of the DOM element that you want to be updated:
<% using (Ajax.BeginForm(new AjaxOptions() {
UpdateTargetId = "someID",
InsertionMode = InsertionMode.InsertAfter,
HttpMethod = "POST" }))
{ %>
<input class="smallInput" type="text" name="duration"/>
<input type="submit" value="Add" />
<% } %>
