Access MVC 3 Razor object value from JQuery

Question

I’m trying to embed a JQuery string within a Razor object that access it's property....something like this:

var propertyID = $(this).attr('id');  
var modelData = “@Model.InitialHistory.” + propertyID;

modelData should look something like this: @Model.InitialHistory.Property_1;

(if i type @Model.InitialHistory.Property_1; in my code it works fine, just need to dynamically select the razor property)

is something like this even possible or am I going to have to create an ajax call?

thanks!

you can't mix server-side and client-side script like that. You'll likely have to use ajax for that. — MrOBrian

You should put all the data from your razor object into (a) javascript variable(s). Then dynamically select it client-side, or use AJAX like you mention above. JavaScript cannot interact with Razor directly. — Joshua Enfield

Please look into this article: [get value from @Model inside jquery script][1] Hope this helps [1]: stackoverflow.com/questions/5770578/… — Display Name

Oh wow....didn't think of that, putting the @Model in a JQuery object - great idea! However, I tried that and got this error: A circular reference was detected while serializing an object of type 'System.Data.Entity.DynamicProxies......" At this point it seems to me making an Ajax call is probably a better "solution" (the Model I have has about 150+ columns of data which leaves more room for error when serializing to JSON) much thanks for your help!! — miguel

You can't!

javascript-jQuery is client side scripting, while razor is server side code.

I would just make Model.InitialHistory a list, and loop through that in the view.
