Question

This is my Test.cshtml:

@using(Ajax.BeginForm("Test", new AjaxOptions()))
{
    <p>
        Some String: <input name="someString" type="text" /> 
    </p>
    <button type="submit">Submit</button>
}

Where jquery-1.4.4.min.js is included by the layout.

My Controller has the following two actions:

public ActionResult Test()
{
    return View();
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Test(string someString)
{
    if (Request.IsAjaxRequest())
        return Json("Okey-dokey");
    return View();
}

It seems that when I hit submit, it always does a full post-back, Request.IsAjaxRequest() is never true!

What gives?

George,

Please make sure that you include the script jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.js in your layout page.
