I have a controller that uses ajax.actionlink in order to get a partial view from another controller. My question is how can I use the result from that ajax partialview to fill in a textbox in my main action .
This is the view i'm working on corresponds to this view
@Ajax.ActionLink("Find location", "getzipcode",
new AjaxOptions
{
UpdateTargetId = "ajax_insert",
InsertionMode = InsertionMode.Replace,
HttpMethod = "GET"
});
<div id="ajax_insert">
</div>
@using (Html.BeginForm("create", "service", FormMethod.Post))
{
// fill Ajax code in this EditFor Result
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.zipcode)
}
as you can see above that ajax simply request's a partial view called getzipcode which just links to this action
public PartialViewResult getzipcode()
{
var zipco = (from s in db.servicers where s.zipcode == 32839 select s);
return PartialView("_review", zipco);
}
The ajax works correctly, im just stumped on inserting the zipcode into the EditFor box as well I tried @Html.EditorFor(model => model.zipcode,@ajax_insert) but it did not work.
