Question

What is the best way to package JS in a partial view from ASP.NET MVC4 when it is sent back through AJAX?

Currently utilizing the System.Web.Optimization framework for bundling and minifying JavaScript, along with @section Script{ } sections to organize all scripts at the bottom of the page. This includes jQuery resources.

In one of my pages, there's an AJAX function that returns a Partial View added to the DOM. Within this view are forms and JavaScript handling event triggers using jQuery.

I plan on transitioning all JavaScript code to external files for unobtrusive scripting. But with AJAX content loading dynamically, rather than including external JS files in the parent View bundle, I need a new approach since $(document).ready(...) executes before the AJAX response.

Considering using jQuery's .on() method instead of the deprecated .live() method but open to other suggestions. What would be the best practice in this scenario?

Appreciate any insights,

Answer №1

I've approached this task in two distinct manners. Initially, I encapsulated my click events within a function that was triggered upon the partial view being fully loaded. This allowed the code to execute appropriately even with the presence of the partial view. However, more recently, I discovered an alternative method for writing these events:

$(document).on('click', '.btnSubmit', function(){
    //code
});

This modified approach ensures that the event will still be activated when the partial view loads after the page has already been rendered. Perhaps you may find this information helpful.
