Menu
Given this nested layout structure:
~/Views/Shared/_layoutBase.cshtml ~/Views/Shared/_layout.cshtml
Where _layoutBase.cshtml is the layout for _layout.cshtml.
Any sections defined in the layout files render their content fine in pages under ~/Views/...
However, for views in an area, the sections are never rendered.
_layoutBase:
<script type="text/javascript">
@RenderSection("footerScripts", false)
</script>
</body>
</html>
_layout.cshtml:
@section footerScripts{
@RenderSection("footerScripts", false)
}
"content" view:
@section footerScripts{
$(function () {
SetFocusOnForm("CaptchaCode", "NextButton");
});
}
The content of section footerScripts never gets rendered in a view in an area. It does get rendered in a view that is under the ~/Views folder.
Area _ViewStart.cshtml:
@{
Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml";
}
Can you see anything wrong?!

I am unable to reproduce the problem. Here's my setup and steps I did.
Add ~/Views/Shared/_LayoutBase.cshtml:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
@RenderBody()
<script type="text/javascript">
@RenderSection("footerScripts", false)
</script>
</body>
</html>
Replace the contents of ~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml with this:
@{
Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_LayoutBase.cshtml";
}
@section footerScripts{
@RenderSection("footerScripts", false)
}
@RenderBody()
Right click on the project and add an Admin area
Add a TestController to this admin area and add a corresponding ~/Areas/Admin/Views/Test/Index.cshtml view:
@{
ViewBag.Title = "Index";
Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml";
}
<h2>Index</h2>
@section footerScripts{
alert('ok');
}
/admin/test/index

I have got up this morning and saw the problem straight away:
I had the @section blocks in a Partial View. In MVC 3, that WON'T work!!
ARGH!
I really appreciate Darin's effort, that effectively provided proof that sections do work in Areas as expected. But the real cause was this.
I forgot they were in a Partial View, because I have a mvc 3 wizard that uses partial views for steps. It works so well and consistently, using ajax if javascript is available, that you forget what you are doing.
Please give Darin a vote, but this is the real answer.
