jQuery preventing RedirectToAction from working?
- by DaveDev
I'm trying to redirect the user if they login successfully but the code I have on my page seems to be preventing the redirection from working. If I remove the jQuery below the redirection works. Can somebody tell me tell me if there's something I'm doing wrong? Thanks
I have the following Action:
[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
public ActionResult Login(User user)
{
var myErrors = new Dictionary<string, string>();
try
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
if (userRepository.ValidUser(user))
{
return RedirectToAction("Index", "Group", new {page = (int?)null});
}
else
{
return Json("Username or password seems to be incorrect");
}
}
else
{
foreach (KeyValuePair<string, ModelState> keyValuePair in ViewData.ModelState)
{
if (keyValuePair.Value.Errors.Count > 0)
{
List<string> errors = new List<string>();
myErrors.Add(keyValuePair.Key, keyValuePair.Value.Errors[0].ErrorMessage);
}
}
return Json(myErrors);
}
}
catch (Exception)
{
return Json("Invalid");
}
}
and the following code on my page:
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#SaveSuccess").hide();
$("#btnLogin").click(function() {
$("form").submit(function(event) {
var formData = $(this).serialize();
$.post($(this).attr("action"), formData, function(res) {
ShowErrors(res);
if (res == true) {
$("#SaveSuccess").text("Saved");
}
else {
$("#divError").html(res);
}
$("#SaveSuccess").fadeIn(100);
}, "json");
return false;
});
});
});
</script>
