Ajax.BeginForm doesn't call onSuccess

Question

In ASP.NET MVC 3 application I use Ajax.BeginForm to post writed text to controller.

@using (Ajax.BeginForm(\"Post\", \"Forum\", new {threadId = Model.Thread         


        

Answer 1

It is a much nicer solution when you give your form an Id and then attach the submit event in a separate javascript file (using jQuery) and handle the post there

html:

@using (Ajax.BeginForm("Post", "Forum", new {threadId = Model.Thread.Id  }, new {id = "formid" }))
{
 ...

Javascript:

$("#formid").submit(function (e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    if ($(this).valid()) {
        $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: $(this).attr('action'),
            data: $(this).serialize(),
            success: function (result) {
                //do your success logic
            }
        });
    }
});
