MVC4 Internet project
I'm using Ajax.BeginForm to do a Postback with validation and it posts back the entire page rather than just the UpdateTargetID. I've looked at other posts on SO and haven't found the answer. I've built a new MVC4 Internet project just for testing (VS 2012 has been updated with 'ASP.NET and Web Tools 2012.2').
Here's my code
Controller
public ActionResult Index()
{
var vM = _db.Students.FirstOrDefault(); return View(vM);
}
[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public ActionResult Index(Student vM)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{ //code if Model valid
return Json(new { url = Url.Action("About", "Controller") });
}
ModelState.AddModelError(string.Empty, "AJAX Post");
return PartialView("Index", vM);
}
View
@model AJAX_Test.Models.Student
@{ ViewBag.Title = "Student"; }
<script src="~/Scripts/jquery-1.8.2.js"></script>
<script src="~/Scripts/jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"> var onSuccess = function (result)
{
if (result.url) { window.location.href = result.url; }
}
// when server returns JSON object containing an url property redirect the browser </script>
<h1>@ViewBag.Title</h1>
<div id="IDXForm">
@using (Ajax.BeginForm("Index", new AjaxOptions() { UpdateTargetId = "IDXForm", OnSuccess = "onSuccess", HttpMethod = "Post" }))
{
@Html.AntiForgeryToken() @Html.ValidationSummary(true)
<span>@Html.EditorFor(m => m.FirstName) @Model.EnrollmentDate.ToShortDateString()</span> <input type="submit" value="Submit" />
}
</div>
The initial view is:

<script type="text/javascript"> var onSuccess = function (result) { if (result.url) { window.location.href = result.url; } }
// when server returns JSON object containing an url property redirect the browser </script>
<h1>Student</h1>
<div id="IDXForm">
<form action="/" data-ajax="true" data-ajax-method="Post" data-ajax-mode="replace" data-ajax-success="onSuccess" data-ajax-update="#IDXForm" id="form0" method="post"><input name="__RequestVerificationToken" type="hidden" value="vkCszJu-fKT6zUr5ys2StOTPF6a9pZdj5k1MyaAZKo8MPweS53dUuni0C9B17NjL_GVydHa7-jI1H0F9HrYEdKxeCWq9mCeER3ebaZYLxIs1" /><span><input class="text-box single-line" id="FirstName" name="FirstName" type="text" value="Carson" /> 9/1/2005</span> <input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form></div>
Can anyone see what is wrong with my code?
Thank you.
