Hi,
I need to extract a proper URL for a AJAX call and this is what I have added in my js file :
var GetLocationByParentPath = '<%= Url.Content("~/Location/GetLocationsByParent") %>';
The ASP.NET MVC tag will however not run so now is the question, how do I fill the GetLocationByParentPath with the correct value?
BestRegards
You're problem is that you're trying to accomplish something that is not supported, you cannot use C# code inside js files.
However, you can do it in your aspx files (or cshtml) and the js file can communicate with those, so you have 3 options:
1 . Add a parameter to your function in your js file that accepts the url
inside the js:
function yourfunction(url)
{
var GetLocationByParentPath = url;
}
inside your aspx:
<script>
yourfunction('<%= Url.Content("~/Location/GetLocationsByParent") %>');
</script>
2 . Add a global js variable that contains this url:
inside your aspx:
<script>
var getLocationsUrl = '<%= Url.Content("~/Location/GetLocationsByParent") %>'
yourfunction();
</script>
inside the js (make sure to define getLocationsUrl before your function runs):
function yourfunction()
{
var GetLocationByParentPath = getLocationsUrl ;
}
3 . Use the full hard-coded url (bad for refactoring but simple solution:
inside the js (make sure to define getLocationsUrl before your function runs):
var GetLocationByParentPath = '/Location/GetLocationsByParent';
Hope this helpes
