Question

I have an HTML <TABLE> displaying a list of items in the rows of the table. To add a new item to the list of items I have a form which submits the data to my controller via AJAX using Ajax.BeginForm. Once the action on the controller has finished it returns a partial view containing the markup for a new row to append to my table (eg. <TR><TD>…….</TD></TR>). My question is how do I add the new row my existing table?

I have create an at the top of the as my header with the id “userrightsgridheader” and specified my Ajax.BeginForm as follows:

<% using (Ajax.BeginForm(
                   "CreateUserRight",
                    new { workstationId = Model.Id },
                    new AjaxOptions
                    {
                        HttpMethod = "POST",
                        InsertionMode = InsertionMode.InsertAfter,
                        UpdateTargetId = "userrightsgridheader"
                    }
                ))
               {  %>

The problem is that this does not work. Does anyone have any ideas on how to achieve this?

Thanks!

You can add the following AjaxOption, this executes ‘jsfunction’ when the Ajax functionality executed successfully:

new AjaxOptions { OnSuccess = "jsfunction" };

You can add the tablerow in the jsfunction.

update
you can define jsfunction as follows:

function jsfunction(ajaxContext) {
    //ajaxContext contains the responseText
}

AjaxContext is defined as follows:

AjaxContext ajaxContext = new AjaxContext(request, updateElement, loadingElement, ajaxOptions.InsertionMode);
