Trying to have a AJAX action link which when clicked, should do a HttpGet
to an action method which returns a PartialViewResult
and shoves the HTML into a div.
Here's my View:
<div id="admin-options" class="admin"></div>
@Ajax.ActionLink("Show Admin Options", "ShowOptions", "Post", new { area = "Admin" }, new AjaxOptions { UpdateTargetId = "admin-options", HttpMethod = "GET" })
Here's the action method:
public class PostController : Controller
{
[HttpGet]
[Authorize(Roles="Admin")]
public PartialViewResult ShowOptions()
{
return PartialView();
}
}
Here's the HTML it generates:
<a data-ajax="true" data-ajax-method="GET" data-ajax-mode="replace" data-ajax-update="#admin-options" href="/Admin/Post/ShowOptions">Show Admin Options</a>
Looks fine to me.
But instead of doing an AJAX call, it does a regular HTTP GET via the browser URL, and redirects to /Admin/Post/ShowOptions.
Obviously im missing something - but what?
Make sure you have the unobtrusive AJAX javascript library included in your page.
<script src="<%=Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.min.js")%>" type="text/javascript"></script>
