Question

I have an Ajax.Action link hooked up to a post method in my controller class that returns a ContentResult. I’m able to make the request and get the response just fine when looking in a tool like firebug, but I’m having problems trying to actually access or do anything with the response text.

Basically, I have something like this in my controller:

public ContentResult RevertToDefault(int id, string default) {   /** Update the DB **/    return Content(default); } 

And this in my view:

<%= Ajax.ActionLink(   'Revert',   'RevertToDefault',   new { id = Model.MyObject.ID, default = Model.MyObject.DefaultValue },   new AjaxOptions { OnComplete = 'function(r) { alert(r); }' })%> 

Right now, the alert just returns [object Object]. The change is made in the database, and I’m guessing that I have access to the ContentResult somewhere in that r object, but I’m having a hard time finding good examples/documentation online.

Any ideas?

Yes, the previous answer is absolutely correct. Just do this:

<%= Ajax.ActionLink(   'Revert',   'RevertToDefault',   new { id = Model.MyObject.ID, default = Model.MyObject.DefaultValue },   new AjaxOptions { OnComplete = 'function(r) { alert(r.get_data()); }' })%>
