I've been searching around with no luck on how to make a jquery call to load a partial view in a div tag on my Index view. Some how I am not getting the partial view to update when I click on a link on my tree. The partial view loads when I first run it b/c I call <div id="divid">
@Html.Partial("_InnerView")</div>. After that nothing happens when I click on the link. Or maybe I am not getting the full picture here. Some mentioned to use $('#divid').load = data; or $('#divid').innerHTML= data; but nothing works for me. This is what I have.
Controller:
public ActionResult Test(string parentEls)
{
if (Request.IsAjaxRequest())
{
Employee employee = new Employee();
employee.Name = parentEls + "1";
return PartialView("_InnerView", employee);
}
return View("_InnerView");
}
Index view:
<div id="divid">
@Html.Partial("_InnerView")</div>
$('#tree a').click(function () {
var parentEls = $(this).parents('ul').map(function () {
return $(this).find('a').first().text();
}).get().join(", ");
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: '@Url.Content("~/Home/Test")',
data: {
parentEls: parentEls
},
success: function(data) {
$('#divid').innerHTML = data;
}
});
});
_InnerView.cshtml:
@model TreeDemo.Models.Employee
EmpName:@Model.Name
UPDATE: I got this to work with this
$.ajax({ url: '/Home/Test/', contentType: 'application/html; charset=utf-8', type: 'GET', dataType: 'html', data: { parentEls: parentEls } })
