Issue: Unable to load view on ajax success.
Situation: I have two cascaded dropdowns where the second dropdown's options are based on the selection of the first dropdown. Upon selecting an option in the second dropdown, I want to display a list of records corresponding to the selected values from both dropdowns.
To achieve this functionality, I am using the following JavaScript code for handling the onchange event of the second dropdown:
function ShowDocsList() {
var teamId = $('#TeamID').val();
var projectId = $("#ProjectID").val();
var Url = "@Url.Content("~/DocsHome/DocsList")";
$.ajax({
url: Url,
type:'POST',
dataType: 'html',
data: { TeamID: teamId ,ProjectID : projectId},
success: function (data) {
$('.docs-detail').html(data);
}
});
}The issue arises when trying to render the view in the DocsHome Controller's DocsList method upon changing the second dropdown selection. The controller code is as follows:
public ActionResult DocsList(int teamId, int projectId)
{
List<CustomerViewModel> customerViewsModels = SmartAdminHelper.GetCustomers(db1);
if (Request.IsAjaxRequest())
return PartialView("DocsList");
else
return View("DocsList");
}Although the record is retrieved in the list, it does not pass to the DocsList view while debugging, which seems correct to me at first glance.
I expect the DocsList view to be rendered as a partial view upon changing the second dropdown. During debugging, the process comes to the point of returning PartialView("DocsList"), but then it goes back to the ajax success method, indicating a mistake in my implementation.
Prior to this, I used JSON to fetch data, but now I'm calling an action method through ajax, which might also be causing the issue since I am relatively new to this concept.
Where exactly am I making an error and how can I resolve it?
