Question

can anyone help?

I have just started asp.net mvc and its all working.. entering my controller and then sending out the view… I am also writing a log here….

The page that loads as quite a bit jquery and javascript so i need to be able to enter into the controller again preferably not a postback but via ajax or similar – is this possible?

Or do i call an action on a controller from javascript i suppose my question should be – ???

Any ideas?

Well if you want to do ajax against a controller you can do an .ajax with jQuery like this:

$.ajax({
                 type: "GET",//type of verb to use POST/GET
                 data: ({ Data:data }),//Send some data to the controller
                 url: '<% = Url.Action("MEthod","Controller")%>',//URL of the resource
                 dataType: "text/html", //Define the type of spectated results(JSON,Html,Xml)
                 timeout: 8000, //How much time to wait for the asynchronous call to complete
                 error: function() {
                     alert('ERROR');
                 }, //end error
                 success: function(html) {
                 //Here do something with the result hold in the html variable  
                 } //end succes
             });   //end ajax
