Let me start off by explaining all the possible solutions I've tried. I now have jquery-unobtrusive-ajax.min.js
inside my scripts folder and have added it to a bundle. I've tried referencing it on the view page itself, along with the _Layout.cshtml
page also, this is how I have the bundle currently:
//BundleConfig.cs
bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/jquery").Include(
"~/Scripts/jquery-1.10.2.min.js",
"~/Scripts/modernizr-2.6.2.js",
"~/Scripts/jquery.validate.min.js",
"~/Scripts/jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.min.js"));
This bundle is referenced in the main layout view page that all my other views are derived from:
//_Layout.cshtml (at bottom of view, right before hitting </body></html>)
@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquery")
Lastly in web.config, I've added these keys to the app settings:
//Web.config
<appSettings>
<add key="ClientValidationEnabled" value="true" />
<add key="UnobtrusiveJavaScriptEnabled" value="true" />
</appSettings>
Now that that has been stated, this is what my Ajax call looks like. I'm trying to return some data from a stand alone page and replace it with what's in the main page, fairly straightforward I would think:
@Ajax.ActionLink("Edit", "Index", "WeeklyTarget",
new {id = item.WeeklyTargetId},
new AjaxOptions {HttpMethod = "GET", UpdateTargetId = "hoursEdit", InsertionMode = InsertionMode.Replace})
When this action link is clicked form the index view this is called from the controller:
public ActionResult Index(int? id, IEnumerable<WeeklyTarget> selection )
{
if (Request.IsAjaxRequest())
{
// return the partial view here
}
}
But as stated in my title, Request.IsAjaxRequest()
will still always return false. What gives??? Please help... I've exhausted all ideas, tweaks, and work arounds I could possibly think of. I even tried clearing out my caches, cleaning solutions, etc.
