ASP.NET MVC 4 Default _LoginPartial template Logout not working
asp.net-mvc-4, asp.net-mvc-partialview, c#, javascript, partial-views
Solution
I'm not answering your question ( you already solved the problem ) but I think this greatly improves the code:
change this line :
<a href="javascript:document.getElementById('logoutForm').submit()">Log off</a>
with this one:
<button class="btn btn-link">Log off</button>
also the id on the form is not needed with this change.
Problem
I have been fiddling around with the _Layout and _PartialLayouts of the default MVC 4 templates and suddenly the 'Logout' feature in the '_PartialLogin' doc has stopeed working. To give you more info, the _LoginPartial.cshtml is called from the _NavBar.cshtml which in turn is called from the _Layout.cshtml The code of the _LoginPartial.cshtml is: ``` @if (Request.IsAuthenticated) { <text> <p>Hello, @Html.ActionLink(User.Identity.Name, "Manage", "Account", routeValues: null, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "username", title = "Manage" })! @using (Html.BeginForm("LogOff", "Account", FormMethod.Post, new { id = "logoutForm" })) { @Html.AntiForgeryToken() <a href="javascript:document.getElementById('logoutForm').submit()">Log off</a> }</p> </text> } ``` The code from the _NavBar.cshtml is: ``` <form class ="navbar-form navbar-right" method="post" action="/account/login"> <div class ="form-group"> @Html.Partial("_LoginPartial") </div> </form> ``` The code from the _Layout.cshtml is: ``` <body> @Html.Partial("_Navbar") @RenderSection("featured", required: false) @RenderBody() <div class="container"> ``` I get that maybe the problem is the javascript has been disabled unintentionally somehow. Am I missing some script tags maybe? Or is it something in the previous class where I called the _PartialLogin from??
