Using Ajax.BeginForm with ASP.NET MVC 3 Razor

Question

Is there a tutorial or code example of using Ajax.BeginForm within Asp.net MVC 3 where unobtrusive validation and Ajax exist?

This is an elusive topic f

Answer 1

I think that all the answers missed a crucial point:

If you use the Ajax form so that it needs to update itself (and NOT another div outside of the form) then you need to put the containing div OUTSIDE of the form. For example:

 

 @using (Ajax.BeginForm("MyAction", "MyController",
            new AjaxOptions
            {
                HttpMethod = "POST",
                InsertionMode = InsertionMode.Replace,
                UpdateTargetId = "target"
            }))
 {
      
 }
 

Otherwise you will end like @David where the result is displayed in a new page.
