I want to take a view and instead of opening a new page I want to just open that view inside a Jquery dialog. I was just wondering how it's done or if possible.
HomeController.cs
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using Jquery_Dialog.Models;
using Kendo.Mvc.Extensions;
using Kendo.Mvc.UI;
namespace Jquery_Dialog.Controllers
{
public class HomeController : Controller
{
private IEnumerable<Product> Products
{
get
{
return new List<Product>
{
new Product {ProductID = 1, Name = "Train", Category = "Toy", Price = 29.99M},
new Product {ProductID = 2, Name = "Truck", Category = "Toy", Price = 19.99M},
new Product {ProductID = 3, Name = "Bread", Category = "Food", Price = 2.49M},
new Product {ProductID = 4, Name = "Cookies", Category = "Food", Price = 2.99M}
};
}
}
public ActionResult Index()
{
IEnumerable<Product> productList = Products;
return View(productList);
}
public ActionResult Details(int id)
{
Product model = Products.Where(p => p.ProductID == id).SingleOrDefault();
return Request.IsAjaxRequest() ? PartialView(model) : PartialView(model);
}
public ActionResult About()
{
ViewBag.Message = "Your app description page.";
return View();
}
public ActionResult Contact()
{
ViewBag.Message = "Your contact page.";
return View();
}
}
}
Index.cshtml
@model IEnumerable<Jquery_Dialog.Models.Product>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.9.1/themes/base/jquery-ui.css " />
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.8.2.js "></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.9.1/jquery-ui.js "></script>
<table> @foreach (var item in Model) {
<tr>
<td>
@Html.ActionLink(item.Name, "Details", new { id = item.ProductID }, new { @class = "ajax-details" })
</td>
</tr>
}
</table>
<div id="dialog" title="Title of dialog">
<p>This is the default dialog which is useful for displaying information. The dialog window can be moved, resized and closed with the 'x' icon.</p>
</div>
<script>
$(function () {
$('.ajax-details').on('click', function (e) { // bind to click event
// go get the page using the link's `href`
$.get($(this).prop('href'), function (response) {
$(response).dialog(); // take the response and throw it up in a dialog
// optional: Use jQuery UI's options to specify buttons and other
// settings here as well. It's also probably a good idea to
// bind the close event and $().remove() this element from
// the page on close since the user can click links over and
// over. (prevent DOM overload of hidden elements)
});
e.preventDefault(); // don't let it continue on
});
});
</script>
<script>
$("#dialog").dialog();
</script>
As you can see I have a simple dialog that opens a div but I want to be able to open the details view instead of clicking the ActionLink and going to a different page, I want to be able to click the ActionLink and have it open up in the dialog.
