Question

In Orchard, how do I include a javascript file in my partial view that’s loaded from an ajax call?

Here’s what I’ve tried:

@{Script.Include("ownerInfo.js");}

Orchard completely ignores this if the view is hit from an ajax call

Edit: The below works, although including scripts by hand is not ideal. See Piedone’s example below for a better alternative.

<script type="text/javascript" src="./Modules/ModuleName/Scripts/script.js"></script>

I think this is by design. If you look at Orchard.UI.Resources.ResourceFilter (this is the filter adding those shapes to the layout that render static resources) it contains the following check:

// should only run on a full view rendering result
        if (!(filterContext.Result is ViewResult))
            return;

This prevents it from injecting the shapes into the layout if the action result is e.g. a PartialViewResult.

You could do the following:

• Insert the script “by hand”

• Include the script with Orchard and display the head and/or foot scripts’ shape in your view:

  Display.HeadScripts()
  Display.FootScripts()
