partial-views

I just came across a blog that mentions a j function in Rails. They were using it to do ajax style page updates. $('#cart').html("<%=j render @cart %>"); I get they are using partials to render the cart partial, but whats the point of j ? I've found some articles that say it converts the string to something JavaScript will accept, but what does that mean? escape_javascript(javascript) Escapes carriage returns and single and double quotes for JavaScript segments. Also available through the alias j(). From the the rails docs . Peter actually posted the correct answer. But I will try to elaborate

Would someone confirm the best place for a partial view in ASP.NET MVC? My thinkings are if it's a global view that's going to be used in many places then SHARED. If it's part of a view that's been wrapped up into a partial view to make code reading easier, then it should go into the Views/Controller directory Am I correct or am I missing something? I believe you are correct. Here is an example of something I do, general navigation partial views in my Shared directory. and then a partial views for a specific Controller in the Views/[ControllerName] Directory. I think, you're absolutely right!

In the past, whenever I wanted to update a part of my view through Ajax, I've done the following: create a partial out of the part I want to update and give it a unique ID, say #tracks create a special action in the controller for that Ajax call, say remove_track that updates all the values, etc. and add format.js create a new JS file with the same name as the action so Rails calls it automatically remove_track.js.erb which contains something like: $('#tracks').html("<%=j render 'cds/show_tracks' %>"); set remote: true in the link that calls this action. All this is fine, but now I am trying

I'm new to the MVC development so please bear with me. Is it really necessary to name my partial view like _Action.cshtml (with the _ underscore) to comply with the naming convention? Here's my problem I have a controller (StudentController) and an action (List) that has a partial view file named "List.cshtml", and have @{ Html.RenderAction("List", "Student"); } to display this inside my HomeController - Index view as partial view which works. But if I name my partial view to _List.cshtml of course it will not work. Visual Studio could not even find the view for my action Student - List

I have a form that displays a set of inputs. I also have a button, and when clicked, I make an ajax request which is supposed to replace the existing inputs with a different set of inputs. All my ajaxy linking stuff up works fine. The problem is that I'm using a form_for , so in order to display the new form inputs, I need the form builder instance. View File <%= simple_form_for @order do |f| %> <div id="info"> <%= render 'my_first_form_fields_partial', f: f %> </div> <%= link_to 'Change inputs', change_inputs_path, remote: true %> <% end %> I'd like my js.erb to look like this, but f is only

I have a farily straight forward form that renders personal data as a partial view in the center of the form. I can not get client side validation to work on this form. I started chasing down the generate html and came up with the same model field rendered on a standard form and a partial view. I noticed that the input elements are correctly populated on the first call, @html.partial, the following only happens when the partialview is reloaded via an ajax request. First the header of my partial view, this is within a Ajax.BeginForm on the main page. @model MvcMPAPool.ViewModels

I'm using http://github.com/philsturgeon/codeigniter-template/ for the templates and I trying to load other controller view to actual view as a partial. My main problem is that I cant append meta data (javascripts, css) from other controller to the main controller. application/core/MY_Loader.php class MY_Loader extends CI_Loader { function __construct() { parent::__construct(); } function controller( $sController ) { global $RTR; // Parse the sController string ex: demo/index $aControllerData = explode( '/', $sController ); $sMethod = !empty( $aControllerData[1] ) ? $aControllerData[1] :
