I've looked at what must be 100 posts and can't get this to work in my new project. I've got all the scripts, its seems like the simplist of tests and unobtrusive is set in the webconfig, still no luck getting the actionlink to replace the text in the div. Firebug reports all scripts loaded successfully and code is below. If anyone can help it would be much appreciated and I'd get you a virtual beer!
Controller:
public ActionResult AjaxTest()
{
return Content("Ajax Test Successful");
}
View:
@{
ViewBag.Title = "User";
}
<h2>Users</h2>
@Html.ActionLink("Ajax Test", "AjaxTest", "Admin", new AjaxOptions() { InsertionMode = InsertionMode.Replace, UpdateTargetId = "ajaxtest" })
<div id="ajaxtest"></div>
