MVC and jQuery data retrieval.
- by user337542
Hello,
I am using mvc and jQuery and I am trying to display someone's profile with some additional institutions that the person belongs to. I am new to this but I've done something like this in ProfileControler:
public ActionResult Institutions(int id)
{
var inst = fr.getInstitutions(id);
return Json(inst);
}
getInstitutions(id) returns Institution objects(with Name, City, Post Code etc.)
Then in a certain View I am trying to get the data with jQuery and display them as follows:
$(document).ready(function () {
$.post("/Profile/Institutions", { id: <%= Model.Profile.userProfileID %> }, function (data) {
$.each(data, function () {
var new_div = $("<div>");
var new_label = $("<label>");
new_label.html(this.City);
var new_input_b = $("<input>");
new_input_b.attr("type", "button");
new_div.append(new_label);
new_div.append(new_input_b);
$("#institutions").append(new_div);
});
});
});
$("#institutions") is a div where i want to display all of the results.
.post works correct for sure because certain institutions are retrieved from database, and passed to the view as Json result. But then I am affraid it wont itterate with .each.
Any help, coments or pointing in some direction would be much appriciated
