I need to be able to populate data into a <div>
or some other sort of section from an object after the corresponding string has been selected from a drop down list (lazy loading).
When a chnage is made in the dropdownlist, I want the method in my controller to be called which will fill in <div id=result></div>
with the output from the method.
Perhaps I am approaching this problem wrong. I suspect the problem is in my JavaScript. Here is my approach:
View:
<div>@Html.DropDownList("MyDDL") </div>
<br>
<div id="result"></div>
JavaScript:
<script type ="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#MyDDL").change(function () {
var strSelected = "";
$("#MyDDL option:selected").each(function () {
strSelected += $(this)[0].value;
});
var url = "HomeController/showInfo";
//I suspect this is not completely correct:
$.post(url, {str: strSelected},function (result) {
$("result").html(result);
});
});
});
</script>
Controller (Perhaps I shouldn't be using PartialViewResult
):
public ActionResult Index()
{
List<string> myList = new List<string>();
List<SelectListItem> MyDDL = new List<SelectListItem>();
myList.Add("Tim");
myList.Add("Joe");
myList.Add("Jim");
//fill MyDDL with items from myList
MyDDL = myList
.Select(x => new SelectListItem { Text = x, Value = x })
.ToList();
ViewData["MyDDL"] = MyDDL;
return View();
}
[HttpPost]
public PartialViewResult showInfo(string str)
{
Person p = new Person(str); //name is passed to constructor
p.LoadInfo(); //database access in Person Model
ViewBag.Info = p.Info;
return PartialView("_result");
}
_result.cshtml:
<p>
@ViewBag.Info
</p>
Thanks You.
Change your script a little bit. Missing a # in the jQuery selecter for result div . Use the code given below
$.post(url, {str: strSelected},function (result) {
$("#result").html(result);
});
In my opinion if the javascript are in local don't need put $.post(url, {str: strSelected},function (result) {
You can use
//I suspect this is not completely correct:
$("#result").html(result);
try it
Did you try debugging p.LoadInfo()
if it has any value? I also have some suggestions for your script:
Try adding keyup
in your event so you can get the value in cases when the arrow keypad is used insted of clicking:
$("#MyDDL").on("change keyup", function () {
// you can get the dropdown value with this
var strSelected = $(this).val();
So I made the following changes and it worked:
View:
<div><%= Html.DropDownList("MyDDL") %> </div>
<br>
<span></span>
JavaScript:
<script type ="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#MyDDL").change(function () {
var strSelected = $("#MyDDL option:selected").text();
var url = "/Home/showInfo";
$.post(url, {str: strSelected},function (result) {
$("span").html(result);
});
});
});
_result.cshtml:
@ViewBag.Info
The Controller was left unchanged.
