Loading partial view from jQuery not displayed in MVC

Question

I had a problem getting a partial view for rendering in ASP.Net MVC 1.0 when I load it using jQuery.

I have a controller like:

    public ActionResult Index() {
        return View(_invoiceService.FindAllInvoices());
    }

    public ActionResult InvoiceSearchResults() {
        return PartialView("InvoiceSearchResults",_invoiceService.FindAllInvoices());
    }

I have an index:

<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="TitleContent" runat="server">
    Index
</asp:Content>

<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent" runat="server">
<%= Html.Script("/scripts/InvoiceSearch.js") %>

<h2>Search</h2>
<div class="SearchBar">
</div>

<div class="SearchResults"></div>

<p><%= Html.ActionLink("Create New", "Create") %></p>
</asp:Content>

Then I have a PartialView:

<table>
    <tr>
        <th></th>
        <th>InvoiceId</th>
        <th>InvoiceNo</th>
        <th>SupplierId</th>
        <th>InvoiceDate</th>
        <th>TotalValue</th>
        <th>InputDate</th>
        <th>PaymentDueDate</th>
        <th>InvoiceStatusId</th>
        <th>AuthoriserId</th>
    </tr>

<% foreach (var item in Model) { %>
    <tr>
        <td>
            <%= Html.ActionLink("Edit", "Edit", new { id=item.InvoiceId }) %> |
            <%= Html.ActionLink("Details", "Details", new { id=item.InvoiceId })%>
        </td>
        <td><%= Html.Encode(item.InvoiceId) %></td>
        <td><%= Html.Encode(item.InvoiceNo) %></td>
        <td><%= Html.Encode(item.SupplierId) %></td>
        <td><%= Html.Encode(String.Format("{0:g}", item.InvoiceDate)) %></td>
        <td><%= Html.Encode(String.Format("{0:F}", item.TotalValue)) %></td>
        <td><%= Html.Encode(String.Format("{0:g}", item.InputDate)) %></td>
        <td><%= Html.Encode(String.Format("{0:g}", item.PaymentDueDate)) %></td>
        <td><%= Html.Encode(item.InvoiceStatusId) %></td>
        <td><%= Html.Encode(item.AuthoriserId) %></td>
    </tr>
<% } %>
</table>

I have jQuery:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("#InvoiceDropDown").change(function() {
        $("#SearchResults").load("/Invoice/InvoiceSearchResults/");      
    });
});

I removed a piece of code that I know works to make reading easier.

When I click on my DropDownList, it calls JQuery, jumps to my controller and seems to run a partial class, but does nothing.

I tried to answer evilDonald, and the same thing happens, maybe something stupid I did somewhere?

Any help or general advice here is greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

$("#SearchResults").load("/Invoice/InvoiceSearchResults/");

Answer 2

:

$("#SearchResults").load("/Invoice/InvoiceSearchResults/");

$.ajax(), , html. , :

public ActionResult InvoiceSearchResults()
{                        
    return PartialView("InvoiceSearchResults",_invoiceService.FindAllInvoices());
}

Ajax Call

$.ajax({
    url: "/Invoice/InvoiceSearchResults/",
    type: 'GET',
    dataType: 'html', // <-- to expect an html response
    success: doSubmitSuccess
});

OnSuccess js

function doSubmitSuccess(result)
{
    $('div#MyDiv').html(result);
}

Answer 3

... ( $.ajax.) . $.get.

$.get(postUrl, function(data) {
                $("#posts").append(data);
                $('#ajaxLdMore').addClass('hideElement');
                $('#ldMore').removeClass('hideElement');
            });
