                    data: { "markaId": markaId },
                    success: function (model) {
                        debugger
                        $("#sModel").empty();
                        $("#sModel").append(model);

public IActionResult VratiModele(int markaId = 0)
        {
            if (markaId != 0)
            {
                List<Model> listaModela = db.Modeli.Where(m => m.MarkaId == markaId).ToList();
                ViewBag.ModelVozila = new SelectList(listaModela, "ModelId", "Naziv");
            }
            else
            {
                ViewBag.Greska = markaId.ToString();
            }

            return PartialView();

View Data

Answer 3

Here's an alternative way to do the same call. And your type should always be in CAPS, eg. type:"GET" / type:"POST".

$.ajax({
      url:/ControllerName/ActionName,
      data: "id=" + Id + "&param2=" + param2,
      type: "GET",
      success: function(data){
            // code here
      },
      error: function(passParams){
           // code here
      }
});

Another alternative will be to use the data-ajax on a link.

<a href="/ControllerName/ActionName/" data-ajax="true" data-ajax-method="GET" data-ajax-mode="replace" data-ajax-update="#_content">Click Me!</a>

Assuming u had a div with the I'd _content, this will call the action and replace the content inside that div with the data returned from that action.

<div id="_content"></div>

Not really a direct answer to ur question but its some info u should be aware of ;).

$('#btnSaveComments').click(function () {
    var comments = $('#txtComments').val();
    var selectedId = $('#hdnSelectedId').val();

    $.ajax({
        url: '<%: Url.Action("SaveComments")%>',
        data: { 'id' : selectedId, 'comments' : comments },
        type: "post",
        cache: false,
        success: function (savingStatu`enter code here`s) {
            $("#hdnOrigComments").val($('#txtComments').val());
            $('#lblCommentsNotification').text(savingStatus);
        },
        error: function (xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError) {
            $('#lblCommentsNotification').text("Error encountered while saving the comments.");
        }
    });
});

Answer 5

Try using the data option of the $.ajax function. More info here.

$('#btnSaveComments').click(function () {
    var comments = $('#txtComments').val();
    var selectedId = $('#hdnSelectedId').val();

    $.ajax({
        url: '<%: Url.Action("SaveComments")%>',
        data: { 'id' : selectedId, 'comments' : comments },
        type: "post",
        cache: false,
        success: function (savingStatus) {
            $("#hdnOrigComments").val($('#txtComments').val());
            $('#lblCommentsNotification').text(savingStatus);
        },
        error: function (xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError) {
            $('#lblCommentsNotification').text("Error encountered while saving the comments.");
        }
    });
});

Answer 6

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult SaveComments(int id, string comments){
     var actions = new Actions(User.Identity.Name);
     var status = actions.SaveComments(id, comments);
     return Content(status);
}
