I am developing MVC 5 App. I have a Parent View that call a Partial View, where user can Load a Image.
On Submit a call a .Ajax defined in Parent view that call Method/Controller.
What I need is to send to the controller data I have in Parent View. Is that Posible?
Here is my code.
Parent View
Partial View
.Ajax Method
$('#formPhoto').submit(function (event) {
event.preventDefault();
if ($(this).valid()) {
var id="aaa";
var formdata = new FormData($(this).get(0));
$.ajax({
url: this.action,
type: this.method,
data:formdata,
processData: false,
contentType: false,
beforeSend: function () {
return true;
},
success: function (result) {
successPhoto();
},
complete: function () {
// alert(3);
// And so on.
}
});
}
return false;
});
I need to send var aa='aaa' in data:
Yes it's possible. So basically I can suggest for you two ways to do what you need:
1st: You could consider putting the form element in the ParentView and change your code a little bit...
2nd: You could recover the data from the parent view and serialize it together to send to your action.
So, from the second option it would be something like:
var parentInformation = 'aaa';
var formdata = new FormData($(this).get(0));
formdata.ExpectedParentOnPropertySide = parentInformation;
Please, I hope this solve your problem

Sorry I am a beginner with jQuery and Javascript. I want to be able to get the results into my modal from any form on the page that has class ajax. My code is below but not working correctly. Currently it opens the post result in a new page and not in the modal. Can anyone shed any light on my code?
Many thanks
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.ajax').click(function() {
var that = $(this),
url = that.attr('action'),
type = that.attr('method'),
data = {};
that.find('name').each(function(index, value) {
var that = $(this),
name = that.attr('name'),
value = that.val();
data[name] = value;
});
console.log(value);
// AJAX request
$.ajax({
url: url,
type: type,
data: data,
success: function(response){
// Add response in Modal body
$('.modal-body').html(response);
// Display Modal
$('#aaModal').modal('show');
}
});
});
});
This probably happens because your browser submits the form by default. It doesnt know youre doing AJAX stuff. To prevent this, use preventDefault().
In addition to that, jQuery has a built in function for serializing (1 and 2) form data.
$(document).ready(function() {
$('form.ajax').click(function(event) {
event.preventDefault(); // prevents opening the form action url
var $form = $(this),
url = $form.attr('action'),
type = $form.attr('method'),
data = $form.serialize();
// console.log(value); // value doesnt exist outside of your loop btw
// AJAX request
$.ajax({
url: url,
type: type,
data: data,
success: function(response){
// Add response in Modal body
$('.modal-body').html(response);
// Display Modal
$('#aaModal').modal('show');
}
});
});
});
Also, its not quite clear if you bind the click event handler to a form or a button, I guess the first one. You should change the handler to the following:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('form.ajax').on('submit', function(event) {
I would like to validate a form with an AJAX request to the server and then swap the form html in the web browser with the form html from the server because this would be an easy implementation in theory. It is proving a nightmare though because the change event is triggered without the user interacting further after the first interaction which triggered the first change event. Consequently an infinite loop of AJAX requests to the server is happening.
The html form sits inside a div which has classes 'container mb-4'. This is the JS code -
var _cont = $('.container.mb-4')
var _form = $('.custom-form')
function ajax_validation(form) {
form.on('change', 'input, select, textarea', function() {
form_data = form.serialize()
$.ajax({
url: "/form/6/",
type: "POST",
data: form_data,
success: function(data) {
if(!(data['success'])) {
_cont.empty()
_cont.append(data['form_html'])
form = _cont.find('form')
ajax_validation(form)
}
},
error: function () {
form.find('.error-message').show()
}
});
})
}
ajax_validation(_form)
The change event I am assuming is triggered because the server returns a form input field with a different csrf token as the value to the previous input field - all other fields are the same. So an obvious solution would be to keep the same csrf token. But I want to understand why the JS code isn't working. I thought destroying the form would destroy the change event bound to it. So am at a loss to explain this infinite loop. How do I change this so I can just swap the form and not trigger another change event until the user really does change something?
It's not a good thing to use events in function no need to do that
Also your event here for input , select , textarea for serialize you need to select the closest() form
Try the next code
var _cont = $('.container.mb-4');
var _form = $('.custom-form');
_cont.on('change', 'form input,form select,form textarea', function() {
var ThisForm = $(this).closest('form');
var form_data = ThisForm.serialize();
$.ajax({
url: "/form/6/",
type: "POST",
data: form_data,
success: function(data) {
if(!(data['success'])) {
_cont.html(data['form_html']);
}
},
error: function () {
ThisForm.find('.error-message').show()
}
});
});
And logically if(!(data['success'])) { should be if(data['success']) {
First let's understand the issue that you have. You have a function called ajax_validation that is defining a change event on the form's elements which, on response will call ajax_validation. So, if any change happens on your elements, then a new request is sent to the server. So, if any value is changed, like a token, the request will be sent again. You could use a semaphore, like this:
var semaphore = true;
function ajax_validation(form) {
form.on('change', 'input, select, textarea', function() {
if (!semaphore) return;
semaphore = false;
form_data = form.serialize()
$.ajax({
url: "/form/6/",
type: "POST",
data: form_data,
success: function(data) {
if(!(data['success'])) {
_cont.empty()
_cont.append(data['form_html'])
form = _cont.find('form')
ajax_validation(form)
}
semaphore = true;
},
error: function () {
form.find('.error-message').show()
}
});
})
}
Something like this should solve your issue for the time being, but you should consider refactoring your code, because what you experience is well-known and is called callback hell.
Turns out the password field was coming back blank from the server - this django must do out of the box if the PasswordInput widget is used. So the form is replaced with a new form which lacks the password input from the before. The browser was then applying the autofill password value to the form which was triggering the change event.
This is my code now. It checks that the form_data about to be sent for validation really is different to before minus the csrf token which will be different.
It is based on Mohamed's answer -
var _cont = $('.container.mb-4');
var _form = $('.custom-form');
var prev_data = undefined
_cont.on('change', 'form input,form select,form textarea', function() {
var ThisForm = $(this).closest('form');
var form_data_wo_csrf = ThisForm.find("input, textarea, select").not("input[type='hidden']").serialize()
if(form_data_wo_csrf == prev_data) {
return
}
var form_data = ThisForm.serialize()
$.ajax({
url: "/form/6/",
type: "POST",
data: form_data,
success: function(data) {
if(!(data['success'])) {
_cont.html(data['form_html']);
prev_data = form_data_wo_csrf
}
},
error: function () {
ThisForm.find('.error-message').show()
}
});
});
I have to perform following operation.
On a button click from View1, do Ajax request and get complex object as return.
Pass this object to View2 as parameter.
Process the data sent from view1 in client side(inside $(window).load()).
Below is my code:
View1 :
var Url = baseUrl() + "/InteractiveReport/GetRatingProfitData/";
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: Url,
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "html",
// dataType: "json",
data: JSON.stringify({ "Projects": SelectedProjectinfo }),
success: function (JsonData) {
debugger;
var w = window.open('about:blank');
w.document.open();
w.document.write(JsonData);
w.document.close();
},
error: function (retVal) {
alert("error:" + retVal.responseText);
}
});
InteractiveReportController :
public ActionResult RatingProfitReport(ProfitRatingInfoModel RatingProfitData)
{
return View("RatingProfitReport", RatingProfitData);
}
public ActionResult GetRatingProfitData(IRSelectedProjectInfoModel Projects)
{
ProfitRatingInfoModel RatingProfitData = new ProfitRatingInfoModel();
//GET RatingProfitData from Database
return RatingProfitReport(RatingProfitDataMdl);
//var jsonSerializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
//string response = jsonSerializer.Serialize(RatingProfitDataMdl);
//return Json(response, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
View2 :
#using Enterprise_Dashboard.Models
#model ProfitRatingInfoModel
<script>
//Control not entering this section
$(document).ready(function () {
init_bind_rating_profit_table();
});
function init_bind_rating_profit_table()
{
debugger;
var RatingProfitData = #Model.ProfitRatingData;
alert(RatingProfitData[0].BU);
}
</script>
Is there any better way to redirect to different view from Ajax call with parameters.
from my View1, if i directly make Ajax call to View2, i cannot pass complex object as parameter, since its too big string.
Is there any way i can set RatingProfitDataMdl into Session or ViewBag or ViewData or anything else and i can access it in View2?
OR
Is there any way i can eliminate Ajax call on button click so button click on View1 will automatically call GetRatingProfitData and it internally redirects to RatingProfitReport with modal object parameter?
OR
Completely different approach available to handle this scenario?
I have a partial view that I load in a page passing in a parameter. When the page loads, I setup two parameters helpMember and helpAnonymous.
{
var helpMember = Model.Content.Children.Where(c => c.DocumentTypeAlias.Equals("contextualHelp", StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase)).ElementAt(0);
var helpAnonymous = Model.Content.Children.Where(c => c.DocumentTypeAlias.Equals("contextualHelp", StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase)).ElementAt(1);
}
<div id="contextual-help-partial" >
#Html.Partial("ContextualHelp", helpMember)
</div>
With jQuery, how can I reload the Partial and pass helpAnonymous to it?
You have to create one method in controller and call that action using this. Suppose created action as loadhtml. return partialview from that action.
Controller action as
public ActionResult loadhtml(string helpMember){
ViewBag.helpMember = helpMember;
return PartialView("ContextualHelp");
}
jquery code as
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
url: "/loadhtml?helpMember=#helpMember",
datatype:"html",
success: function (data) {
$("#contextual-help-partial").empty().html(data);
},
error: function (err) {
}
});
I have an HTML able, which I bind by using the following Action in MVC controller:
public ActionResult BindTable(int ? page)
{
int pageSize = 4;
int pageNumber = 0;
List<Users> _users = query.ToList();
return View(_users.ToPagedList(pageNumber, pageSize));
}
Below the table I have the following HTML:
<textarea class="form-control" style="resize:none;" rows="9" placeholder="Enter value here..." id="txtValue"></textarea>
<br />
<button style="float:right; width:100px;" type="button" onclick="CallFunction()" class="btn btn-primary">Update specific record</button>
The Javascript function responsible for calling the action is as following:
function CallFunction() {
if ($('#txtValue').val() !== '') {
$.ajax({
url: '/User/UpdateUser',
type: 'POST',
data: { txt: $('#txtValue').val() },
success: function (data) {
$('#txtValue').val('');
alert('User updated!');
},
error: function (error) {
alert('Error: ' + error);
}
});
}
And here is the Action responsible for updating the user:
public ActionResult UpdateUser(string txtValue)
{
var obj = db.Odsutnost.Find(Convert.ToInt32(1));
if(obj!=null)
{
obj.Text= txtValue;
obj.Changed = true;
db.SaveChanges();
return RedirectToAction("BindTable");
}
return RedirectToAction("BindTable");
}
Everything works fine. But the table doesn't updates once the changes have been made ( it doesn't binds ?? )...
Can someone help me with this ???
P.S. It binds if I refresh the website.. But I want it to bind without refreshing the website...
I created a BIND function with Javascript, but it still doesn't binds:
function Bind() {
$(document).ready(function () {
var serviceURL = '/User/BindTable';
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: serviceURL,
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
});
});
}
You're not actually updating the page after receiving the AJAX response. This is your success function:
function (data) {
$('#txtValue').val('');
alert('User updated!');
}
So you empty an input and show an alert, but nowhere do you modify the table in any way.
Given that the ActionResult being returned is a redirect, JavaScript is likely to quietly ignore that. If you return data, you can write JavaScript to update the HTML with the new data. Or if you return a partial view (or even a page from which you can select specific content) then you can replace the table with the updated content from the server.
But basically you have to do something to update the content on the page.
In response to your edit:
You create a function:
function Bind() {
//...
}
But you don't call it anywhere. Maybe you mean to call it in the success callback?:
function (data) {
$('#txtValue').val('');
Bind();
alert('User updated!');
}
Additionally, however, that function doesn't actually do anything. For starters, all it does is set a document ready handler:
$(document).ready(function () {
//...
});
But the document is already loaded. That ready event isn't going to fire again. So perhaps you meant to just run the code immediately instead of at that event?:
function Bind() {
var serviceURL = '/User/BindTable';
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: serviceURL,
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
});
}
But even then, you're still back to the original problem... You don't do anything with the response. This AJAX call doesn't even have a success callback, so nothing happens when it finishes. I guess you meant to add one?:
function Bind() {
var serviceURL = '/User/BindTable';
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: serviceURL,
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
success: function (data) {
// do something with the response here
}
});
}
What you do with the response is up to you. For example, if the response is a completely new HTML table then you can replace the existing one with the new one:
$('#someParentElement').html(data);
Though since you're not passing any data or doing anything more than a simple GET request, you might as well simplify the whole thing to just a call to .load(). Something like this:
$('#someParentElement').load('/User/BindTable');
(Basically just use this inside of your first success callback, so you don't need that whole Bind() function at all.)
That encapsulates the entire GET request of the second AJAX call you're making, as well as replaces the target element with the response from that request. (With the added benefit that if the request contains more markup than you want to use in that element, you can add jQuery selectors directly to the call to .load() to filter down to just what you want.)
