  1. POMVC jQuery submit form (without page refresh) from JavaScript function

    copied!<p>I'm pretty new to all this. I'm using ASP.NET MVC C# <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Language_Integrated_Query#LINQ_to_SQL" rel="noreferrer">LINQ to SQL</a>.</p> <p>I have an edit page that loads Authors and all their Books. The Books are loaded via an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajax_%28programming%29" rel="noreferrer">Ajax</a> call.</p> <pre><code> &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; $(document).ready(function() { LoadBooks(); }); function LoadBooks() { $(".Books").hide(); $(".Books").load("/Books/Edit/&lt;%= Model.AuthorID %&gt;"); $(".Books").show('slow'); } &lt;/script&gt; </code></pre> <p>This part is working fine. The page loads with the Author info, then the Books load (a partial view in a DIV id="Books", just with the Book Category and Book Title):</p> <pre><code>&lt;%@ Control Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl&lt;Solution.Controllers.BooksController+BooksViewModel&gt;" %&gt; &lt;% using (Html.BeginForm(null,null, FormMethod.Post,new { id = "bookform" })) {%&gt; &lt;fieldset&gt; &lt;legend&gt;Books&lt;/legend&gt; &lt;%int i = 0; foreach (var book in Model.Books) {%&gt; &lt;%= book.BookID%&gt; &lt;%= Html.Hidden("book[" + i + "].BookID", book.BookID) %&gt; &lt;%= Html.DropDownList("book[" + i + "].CatID", new SelectList(Model.Categories, "CatID", "CatTitle", book.CatID))%&gt; &lt;%= Html.ValidationMessage("CatID", "*")%&gt; &lt;%= Html.TextBox("book[" + i + "].BookTitle", book.BookTitle)%&gt; &lt;%= Html.ValidationMessage("BookTitle", "*")%&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;%i++; } %&gt; &lt;/fieldset&gt; &lt;% } %&gt; </code></pre> <p>Now, on the main view page I want to have a link. When the link is clicked I want to do a few things via JavaScript/jQuery/Ajax/whatever. The first thing that I want to happen is to submit the Books form (id = booksform) from the partial view, then continue on to the next <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JQuery" rel="noreferrer">jQuery</a> function. So, I click a link that calls a JavaScript function. This function should call/do/execute the submission of the Books form.</p> <p>I feel like I've tried everything, but I can't get my Books form to submit and process without a full page submit/refresh taking place. (Note, when the full submit does take place, the actions I'd expect in the controller do successfully process). I want the controller process/action to return nothing other than some kind of success/failure indication. (I can then call "LoadBooks();" again to refresh the DIV on the page.</p> <p>Any ideas?</p>
