ASP MVC Define Section in Partial View

Question

As the title states, I want to define a section in a partial view.

My code that I've tested with are as follows:

Controller:

public ActionResult Test() {     return View(); }  public ActionResult PartialTest() {     return PartialView("_PartialTest"); } 

Test.cshtml:

@{     ViewBag.Title = "Test"; }  <h2>Test</h2>  @Html.Action("PartialTest") 

_PartialTest.cshtml:

<p>partial Test</p>  @section scripts {     <script type="text/javascript">         $(document).ready(function() {             alert("Test");          });      </script> } 

Placing the section scripts in the Test.cshtml works fine so the problem isn't in the layout.

Anyone know how to do this?

Partial views don't support @section tag. You should add them in the view which references the partial view. See this question for more information: Injecting content into specific sections from a partial view ASP.NET MVC 3 with Razor View Engine.

It basically comes down to the fact that the main view referencing a partial should be responsible for including Javascript, not the partial view itself.
