I'm trying to clear an ajax form after an item has been added to the database however the OnComplete and OnSuccess AjaxOptions get called before the form is submitted. How can I get it so the form is submitted first and the the OnComplete is called.

<% using (Ajax.BeginForm("AddTable", new AjaxOptions
                                        {
                                            UpdateTargetId = "tables",
                                            InsertionMode = InsertionMode.InsertAfter,
                                            OnComplete = "ClearForm()"
                                        }))
   {%>

which calls

function ClearForm() {
        $('#DisplayName').val('');
    }

However the DisplayName textbox is cleared before the balue is sent to the controller the form submits to. Is there a way around this.

OnComplete = "ClearForm()" should be called without the parentheses, i.e. OnComplete = "ClearForm". I can't say for sure that it would fix your issue though.
