refreshing html.renderaction with ajax request

asp.net-mvc-4, jquery, renderaction

Solution

dateType should be "html", not "json", if your action returns a PartialViewResult:

public ActionResult UserGallery()
{
  // do something
  return PartialView();    
}

and

 $.ajax({
    url : '@Url.Action("UserGallery")',
    dataType: "html",
    success: function (result) { success(result); }
 });

Problem

I have div that renders image gallery on my page ``` <div id="gallery"> @{ Html.RenderAction("UserGallery"); } ``` I have this function which runs on the completion of a successful upload of a new image ``` function filesUploadOnSuccess(e) { function updateCart() { //var tdata = $(frm).serialize(); // or your data in the format that will be used ?? $.ajax({ type: "GET", //data: tdata, url : '@Url.Action("UserGallery")', dataType: "json", success: function (result) { success(result); } }); }; } function success(result) { $("#gallery").html(result); } ``` the problem is that the gallery div doesnt get updated.
