asp.net mvc 2 - return JavaScript with View
- by Tomaszewski
Hi, using ASP.NET MVC 2 I have a navigation menu inside my Master Page. In the navigation menu, I am trying add a class to the that the current page relates to (i.e., home page will add class="active" to the Home button). I'm trying to consider scalability and the fact that I don't want to change individual pages if the navigation changes later.
The only way I can think of doing this is:
Add JavaScript to each individual View that will add the class when the DOM is ready
Return JavaScript when return View() occurs
on point (2), I am unsure how to do. Thusfar I have been doing the following in my controller:
public ActionResult Index()
{
ViewData["messege"] = JavaScript("<script type='text/javascript' language='javascript'> $(document).ready(function () { console.log('hi hi hi'); }); </script>");
return View();
}
but in my view, when I call:
<%: ViewData["messege"] %>
I get: System.Web.Mvc.JavaScriptResult as the result
Would you guys have any ideas on
How to solve the navigation menu probelem, other than the solutions I've listed
return JavaScript along with your view from the Controller
Thanks, in advanced!
