I am showing you how to do partial views. Hopefully, you will have enough take away to utilize partial views within partial views, if you want.
There might be extra code to help you.
View:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" />
<title>IndexValid4</title>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.12.4/jquery.min.js"></script>
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
$('#LOCATION_NUMBER').click(function () {
var store = $('#storeNbr').val();
this.href = this.href.split("?")[0];
this.href = this.href + '?LOCATION_NUMBER=' + encodeURIComponent(store);
});
})
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div class="modal fade" id="myModal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">
<div class="modal-dialog" role="document">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<h4 class="modal-title" id="myModalLabel">My Modal</h4>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<label class="btnIEFix">You can also, Click in Grey Area Outside Modal To Close</label>
<button title="You can also, Click in Grey Area Outside Modal To Close" type="button" class="btn btn-secondary bootBtnMargin" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
#Html.HiddenFor(r => r.storeNbr, new { id = "storeNbr" })
#*https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5838273/actionlink-routevalue-from-a-textbox*#
#Ajax.ActionLink(
"Trigger Ajax",
"ReleaseVersion",
null,
new AjaxOptions
{
UpdateTargetId = "result",
InsertionMode = InsertionMode.Replace,
HttpMethod = "GET"
},
new
{
id = "LOCATION_NUMBER"})
<div id="result"></div>
</body>
</html>
Controller:
public class HomeController : Controller
{
public PartialViewResult ReleaseVersion(string LOCATION_NUMBER = "")
{
return PartialView("_ReleaseVersion"); //, model
}
public ActionResult IndexValid4()
{
var storeViewModel = new StoreViewModel { storeNbr = 5 };
return View(storeViewModel);
}
_ReleaseVersion partial view in shared folder:
release version partial view
