Question

I have a controller named BearController. In it I have one index action method and another action method.

public ActionResult EditBear(int bearId)
{
    ...
    return View();
}

Here is how I call it from the view of the index method:

$.ajax({ url: "Bear/EditBear", data: { bearId: 2} })

The method gets called, the breakpoint goes through the end of EditBear, and after that in my browser I get the view from the index method. The url in the browser is the url of the index method (which means only localhost and controllerName).

I also tried with:

$.get('@Url.Action("EditBear", "Bear")', { bearId: 2});

and the method doesn’t even gets called. What is the problem?

Answer 1

As it seems, if you call an action method with Ajax, the view is somehow not shown. I had to use window.location.href to get the correct view.
