PORequest.IsAjaxRequest not working properly in asp.net mvc2
text
Body
copied!<p>i m using asp.net mvc2 for my application. i have an ajax request sent using jquery. </p> <pre><code>$.ajax{( url:'/home/index' type:'post', data:$('#myform').serialize(), dataType:'html', success:function(response) { //update relevent document portion } }); </code></pre> <p>here is my controller method</p> <pre><code>public ActionResult index(Book book) { Repository _repo = new Repository(); _repo.Add(book); _repo.Save(); if(Request.IsAjaxRequest()) { return RedirectToAction("List",new{id=book.id}); } //do something else } public ActionResult List(int id) { if(Request.IsAjaxRequest())/* here it always returns false even though its been redirected from an ajax request to get here*/ { //do something } } </code></pre> <p>in index actionresult Request.IsAjaxRequest() works properly but when its redirected to List actionresult it does not identify it as ajax request. how can i know that list is being called from an ajax redirection?<br/> <strong>Edit1:</strong> Request.IsAjaxRequest is returning true in IE for both index and List methods while in firefox Request.IsAjaxRequest is true only for index method. when i inspect the code for ajax request i could see two of them; first is post to index method and 2nd is Get from List method. IE sends x-requested-with header with both requests while firefox is sending this header only for first request destined to index method. how can i make firefox work like IE (in this scenario only) i.e sending x-requested-with header with both request in case when second request is not originated from client but is a redirection from first request.<br/> thanks</p>
