Render Partial View Using jQuery in ASP.NET MVC

Question

How do I render the partial view using jquery?

We can render the partial View like this:

<% Html.RenderPartial(\"UserDetails\"); %>

Another thing you can try (based on tvanfosson's answer) is this:

<div class="renderaction fade-in" 
    data-actionurl="@Url.Action("details","user", new { id = Model.ID } )"></div>

And then in the scripts section of your page:

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(function () {
        $(".renderaction").each(function (i, n) {
            var $n = $(n),
                url = $n.attr('data-actionurl'),
                $this = $(this);

            $.get(url, function (data) {
                $this.html(data);
            });
        });
    });

</script>

This renders your @Html.RenderAction using ajax.

And to make it all fansy sjmansy you can add a fade-in effect using this css:

/* make keyframes that tell the start state and the end state of our object */
@-webkit-keyframes fadeIn { from { opacity:0; } to { opacity:1; } }
@-moz-keyframes fadeIn { from { opacity:0; } to { opacity:1; } }
@keyframes fadeIn { from { opacity:0; } to { opacity:1; } }

.fade-in {
    opacity: 0; /* make things invisible upon start */
    -webkit-animation: fadeIn ease-in 1; /* call our keyframe named fadeIn, use animattion ease-in and repeat it only 1 time */
    -moz-animation: fadeIn ease-in 1;
    -o-animation: fadeIn ease-in 1;
    animation: fadeIn ease-in 1;
    -webkit-animation-fill-mode: forwards; /* this makes sure that after animation is done we remain at the last keyframe value (opacity: 1)*/
    -o-animation-fill-mode: forwards;
    animation-fill-mode: forwards;
    -webkit-animation-duration: 1s;
    -moz-animation-duration: 1s;
    -o-animation-duration: 1s;
    animation-duration: 1s;
}

Man I love mvc :-)

If you need to reference a dynamically generated value you can also append query string paramters after the @URL.Action like so:

    var id = $(this).attr('id');
    var value = $(this).attr('value');
    $('#user_content').load('@Url.Action("UserDetails","User")?Param1=' + id + "&Param2=" + value);


    public ActionResult Details( int id, string value )
    {
        var model = GetFooModel();
        if (Request.IsAjaxRequest())
        {
            return PartialView( "UserDetails", model );
        }
        return View(model);
    }
