How to submit an Ajax.Beginform on menu item selected...

[Michael]

I am using the menu like a drop down button. If the user selects an items in the list I want the Ajax form to automatically submit. Is there a way to do this?

Hello Michael,

You can use Ajax.ActionLink as menu item text:

items.Add().Text("Ajax item").Text(Ajax.ActionLink(...)).Encoded(false);

I have tried to use this solution, but for some reason it redirects to the link instead of calling the function via ajax.  I have included jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.min.js so that is not it.  I have tracked it down to when the scrip registrar calls:

jQuery('#Menu').tMenu();

When that is included (which is really important) then the ajax.actionlink items no longer work properly.  I am not sure what extra code gets added to the click of a link that is causing this to fail.

Please let me know if there is a solution so I can use Ajax links.  This would be VERY helpful!
