ASP.NET MVC - Refresh PartialView when DropDownList changed
- by Bryan Roth
I have a search form that is an Ajax form. Within the form is a DropDownList that, when changed, should refresh a PartialView within the Ajax form (via a GET request). However, I'm not sure what to do in order to refresh the PartialView after I get back my results via the GET request.
Search.aspx
<%@ Page Title="" Language="VB" MasterPageFile="~/Views/Shared/Site.Master" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage" %>
<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="TitleContent" runat="server">
Search
</asp:Content>
<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent" runat="server">
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#Sections").change(function () {
var section = $("#Sections").val();
var township = $("#Townships").val();
var range = $("#Ranges").val();
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "Search/Search?section=" + section + "&township=" + township + "&range=" + range,
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "html",
success: function (result) {
// What should I do here to refresh PartialView?
}
});
});
});
</script>
