Question

I have a MVC View that generates multiple Ajax.BeginForm, with a button in them that calls a function in the Controller that returns a Partial View. The UpdateTargetId is set to the ID of a Div. It works fine if I manually click the button, but if I use this code…

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function () {
        $(".submitButton").click();
    });
</script>

Then it clicks the button alright, but it opens the Partial View in a new page… Why does this happen, and how can I fix this?

Answer 1

You probably want to submit the form directly, instead of clicking the submit button. perhaps

$('#formID').submit();

Will help with what you’re after.
