I'm new to Ajax and I'm trying to disable a checkbox if certain items are selected in a dropdown. I need to pass in the mlaId to the GetMlaDeliveryType(int Id) method in the RecipientsController.cs.
I'm not exactly sure how to set up the ajax call in the javascript function checkMlaDeliveryType(mlaId).
// MLA Add disable express checkbox if delivery type is electronic
$('.AddSelectedMla').change(function () {
var deliveryType = checkMlaDeliveryType($('.AddSelectedMla').val());
// disable express option if delivery type is Electronic
if (deliveryType == "Mail") {
$(".mlaExpressIndicator").removeAttr("disabled");
}else{
$(".mlaExpressIndicator").attr('checked', false).attr("disabled", true);
}
})
// ajax call to get delivery type - "Mail" or "Electronic"
function checkMlaDeliveryType(mlaId)
{
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "/Recipients/GetMlaDeliveryType/" ,
data: mlaId,
dataType: ,
success:
});
}
RecipientsController.cs
public string GetMlaDeliveryType(int Id)
{
var recipientOrchestrator = new RecipientsOrchestrator();
// Returns string "Electronic" or "Mail"
return recipientOrchestrator.GetMlaDeliveryTypeById(Id);
}
EDIT:
Here's how the final javascript looked that worked
// MLA Add disable express checkbox if delivery type is electronic
$('.AddSelectedMla').change(function () {
checkMlaDeliveryType($('.AddSelectedMla').val());
})
// ajax call to get delivery type - "Mail" or "Electronic"
function checkMlaDeliveryType(mlaId)
{
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
url: '@Url.Action("GetMlaDeliveryType", "Recipients")',
data: { id: mlaId },
cache: false,
success: function (result) {
// disable express option if delivery type is Electronic
if (result == "Mail") {
$(".mlaExpressIndicator").removeAttr("disabled");
} else {
$(".mlaExpressIndicator").attr('checked', false).attr("disabled", true);
}
}
});
}
The View consists of an HTML TextBox element and a Button. The Button has been assigned a jQuery click event handler and when the Button is clicked a jQuery AJAX called is made to the Controller's action method. The URL for the jQuery AJAX call is set to the Controller's action method i.e. /Home/AjaxMethod.
Create target "JSON object Mapper" object class file according to the business requirements. Create a "Controllers\HomeController. cs" file with default Index method and GetData(...) method with string type input query parameters for Ajax call with following lines of code i.e.
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
url: '/Recipients/GetMlaDeliveryType',
data: { id: mlaId },
cache: false,
success: function(result) {
}
});
then fix your controller action so that it returns an ActionResult, not a string. JSON would be appropriate in your case:
public string GetMlaDeliveryType(int Id)
{
var recipientOrchestrator = new RecipientsOrchestrator();
// Returns string "Electronic" or "Mail"
return Json(
recipientOrchestrator.GetMlaDeliveryTypeById(Id),
JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet
);
}
Now your success callback will directly be passed a javascript instance of your model. You don't need to specify any dataType
parameters:
success: function(result) {
// TODO: use the result here to do whatever you need to do
}
