I have an MVC app that uses the _Layout page to render a header and a sidebar in every page. I am trying to use Angular's Accordion for the menus. However, as soon as I try to place a controller in my _Layout page all of my angular code stops working (I have angular in the Index.cshtml which displays via RenderBody()).
Here is my _Layout page code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />

here is my Angular controller for the _Layout:
angular.module('myModule').controller('LayoutCtrl', function ($scope, generalsearchService) {
getmenuItems();
function getmenuItems() {
generalsearchService.GetMenuItems()
.success(function (data) {
$scope.menuItems = data;
});
};
});
The Angular in my Index.cshtml page works fine until I add the above to the _Layout page.
Can anyone tell me what I am missing? I've been working on this for hours and just can't seem to figure it out.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated!
I found a workaround for my issue, although it is not the best solution because it will require that I put everything in one controller. The workaround is to put a div around everything in the body of my _Layout page(which includes the "#RenderBody" which renders my Index page) and include the ng-app and ng-controller in that div on the _Layout page. If anyone knows of a better solution..I'm all ears. Thanks to those who took the time to try to help thus far.
I am using angular, bootstrap and jquery to populate buttons using json. However when i set the styling to style it like this:
it shows up like this:
so how can i get bootstrap to render the buttons correctly?

I had a look at the styles associated with your button elements and there is no style for btn-inverse. Which means you are missing the css files you need.
I just checked the bootstrap docs and it looks like btn-inverse has been discontinued so that is probably why you are missing the css :-(
This text is from their docs:
Changes to Button Color Classes
Add btn-default to btn elements with no other color. Replace btn-inverse with btn-default since inverse has been removed from Bootstrap 3.
I make a menu option which is show on button click .I need to show deleted option on button text.by default "select value" text display.Now if user select any other value it should show on button.
can you please tell me how it is possible ?

You can use a $scope variable to keep track of the button text. Instead of making the button text a string ('Select value'), make it a $scope variable with a default value of 'Select value'. Make the dropdown links call a function that updates that $scope variable.
See: plunker
I've recently started restructuring a website, which currently uses frames and framesets.
I have now adopted a typical structure.html:
<body>
<div>
<div id="headerNavigation"></div>
<div id="PageContent"></div>
<div id="footer"></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
With the following jQuery scripts to populate the DIVs:
<head>
<script>
$.get('PageHeader.html', processHeader, "html").fail(function() { alert("There is a problem loading the header. Please re-try"); });
function processHeader(file_data)
{
$("#headerNavigation").html(file_data);
}
$.get('TermsConditions.html', processContent, "html").fail(function() { alert("There is a problem loading a resource. Please re-try"); });
function processContent(file_data)
{
$("#PageContent").html(file_data);
}
$.get('Footer.html', processFooter, "html").fail(function() { alert("There is a problem loading a resource. Please re-try"); });
function processFooter(file_data)
{
$("#Footer").html(file_data);
}
</script>
</head>
This works great when i specify the Content page, however, i need some kind of jQuery function that forwards/populates the DIV with the correct content when clicking on an item in my Navigation menu - index.html:
<html>
<head>
<!-- jQuery code for drop down nav menus -->

});

You can, for each link in the menu, add a call to a function like this:
<a onclick="$.get('Information.html', processContent, 'html')" >Information</a>
As you see, you will reuse the same function used to load the content the first time:
$.get('Information.html', processContent, 'html')
In this way,you have just called the same 'processContent' but for a different page to load. You can simplify the onclick event more by adding a third function which will be called by the onclick(or href) and then, will call the function to load the content, like this:
<a onclick="gofor('Information.html')">Information</a>
or this one:
Information
and then add this simple function:
function gofor(page){
$.get(page, processContent, 'html').fail(function() { alert('There is a problem loading a resource. Please re-try');});
}
Obviously you can't use this function to load external content, because it's forbidden by the browsers
Your index page should be something like this, please pay attention to the div with id "pageContent" in it the pages will be loaded and to the function you need to have to load contents in your page.

There is no need for you to load all those elements via javascript. In fact I would argue that it's bad practice. You're making unnecessary calls that will lead to longer loading times for your visitors. The standard practice is to load your initial content and then use javascript as needed to respond to user commands.
I understand what you're trying to do with splitting up the content into separate partials (Header, footer, etc..) but this isn't usually how it's done. There are some template engines that would do exactly what you're trying to achieve without requiring extra ajax calls to pull in regular html content. Here are some basic examples of separating out reusable content:
PHP (Server side):
<?php include 'pageheader.html'; ?>
<div>My main content</div>
<?php include 'footer.html'; ?>
Handlebars.js (Client side)
{{>pageheader}}
<div>My main content</div>
{{>footer}}
Having said that, if you absolutely must stick with the current set up, then you would just need to parse out the url from the a tag and send that to your processContent function. Here is an example of how you can do that using jquery:
$('li').on('click', function (e) {
var url = $(this).find(">:first-child").attr('href');
$.get(url, processContent, "html").fail(function() { alert("There is a problem loading a resource. Please re-try"); });
});
The above code basically just binds to the click event of every li and grabs the a tag's href value before passing that value to your processContent function

So my problem is on the second page. I just added a new element and update the list view just to load the css jqm.
But if I use everything that is good pageInit except round the corners of the list view (data frame = "true"). He did not appear rounded, but I checked the css load, and should be all year. But when used document.ready everything is fine. Round the corners of the list view!
Please help me because I do not want to use document.ready.
$("#local").live('pagecreate', function (evt) {
var edit = $('#edit');
edit.append($('<li>test1</li>'))
});
Try replacing above code peace
