I want to use jquery ajax post like this:
$(".customer_details").click(function () {
$.ajax({
url: $(this).attr("href"),
type: 'POST',
beforeSend: function () {
},
complete: function () {
},
success: function (result) {
$("#customer_operations_container").html(result);
},
error: function (result) {
alert("Hata!");
}
}); //end ajax
});
Or this:
$(".customer_details").click(function () {
$("#customer_operations_container").load($(this).attr("href"));
});
And Action Method
public ActionResult _EditCustomer(int CustomerId)
{
// get customer from db by customer id.
return PartialView(customer);
}
But I cant do what I wanted. When I click to link, PartialView does not load. It is opening as a new page without its parent. I tried prevent.Default but result is the same.
How can I load the partialView to into a div?
Note: If I use link like this <a href="#"> it works.
Thanks.

Maybe the problem is with the actionresult, try with Content to see if that changes anything.
public ActionResult _EditCustomer(int CustomerId)
{
// get customer from db by customer id.
return Content(customer.ToString());
}
Try one of these...
$(".customer_details").click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault()
$.ajax({
url: $(this).attr("href"),
//I think you want a GET here? Right?
type: 'GET',
beforeSend: function () {
},
complete: function () {
},
success: function (result) {
$("#customer_operations_container").html(result);
},
error: function (result) {
alert("Hata!");
}
}); //end ajax
});
Or
$(".customer_details").click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$("#customer_operations_container").load($(this).attr("href"));
});
Or
$(".customer_details").click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
$.get($(this).attr("href"), function(data) {
$("#customer_operations_container").html(data);
});
});
If none of this works, check if there's any js errors

Answer 2

The problem is when you click on the link you already start navigation to it. So just use e.preventDefault() or return false from the click method to prevent the default behavior
$(".customer_details").click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
...
}

This should help you out:
$.ajax({
url: $(this).attr("href"),
type: 'POST',
beforeSend: function () {
},
complete: function () {
},
success: function (result) {
$("#customer_operations_container").html(result);
},
error: function (result) {
alert("Hata!");
}
}); //end ajax
return false;
The only thing you where missing is the prevention of A tag working. By returning false your custom event is called and the default event is not executed.

Try this
$(function(){
$(".customer_details").click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
});
});
Using ready event
