Action filled Tabs can't find scripts from partial views

[Eric]

I have a TabStrip in the Index view for a controller:

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "My Index";
}

<div id="portal" class="k-content">
    <div class="wrapper">
        @(Html.Kendo().TabStrip()
            .Name("tabstrip")
            .Items(tabstrip =>
            {
                tabstrip.Add().Text("Information")
                    .Selected(true)
                    .LoadContentFrom("Information", "MyController");

                tabstrip.Add().Text("Schedule")
                    .LoadContentFrom("Calendar", "MyController");

                tabstrip.Add().Text("Plan")
                    .LoadContentFrom("Plan", "MyController");

                tabstrip.Add().Text("Pending")
                    .LoadContentFrom("Pending", "MyController");

            })
        )
    </div>
</div>

@section Scripts{

}

And the initial level of 'Action' result is a view from the controller:

For example, for the Plan action, the controller definition for that is:

public ActionResult Information()
 {
   //get model data....
   model = blaw blaw
  return View("Information", model);
}

I return a View because then I can define a Layout file to load required javascript files. Somehow the tab has NO knowledge of the scripts loaded via the containing razor view of the TabStrip!

My 'Information' view looks like a normal view with a specific minimal layout file to load scripts

However, even with this manner of getting scripts to load, only the data-load scripts run. For example, the event scripts to handle the selected Kendo ComboBox item do not fire.

The combo box is in a partial view loaded by the view (loaded in the tab): In the example below, the language combo box loads languages, but the Select event does not fire.

@(Html.Kendo().ComboBox()
           .Name("languagesDdf")
           .Placeholder("Select Language...")
           .DataTextField("LanguageValue")
           .DataValueField("LanguageId")
           .Suggest(true)
           .AutoBind(false)
           .HtmlAttributes(new { style = "width: 100%" })
           .DataSource(source =>
           {
               source.Read(read =>
               {
                   read.Action("GetLanguages", "Language");
               }).ServerFiltering(true);
           })
           .Events(e =>
           {
               e.Select("onSelectLanguage");
           })


           )

So why can't the tabs see scripts loaded by the parent razor view/layout files?

Do I need to do something different with the tabstrip definition?

Hi Robert,

In current case you should return PartialView as the content is appended directly to the current DOM and loading more than once jQuery and KendoUI scripts will lead to unexpected behavior. 

e.g.:

public ActionResult Information()
 {
   //get model data....
   model = blaw blaw
  return PartialView("Information", model);
}

At the time, The Partial View had no access to any scripts loaded by the layout file that the partial view was loaded into.

I reworked the scripts and it seems fine now.

Oddly enough, If I load the exact same CSS and Script in the view via a bundles load instead, defined in App_Start\BundleConfig.cs, the kendo gadgetry fails to work...

I have the exact same issue.

 Inside my Tabs (which are loaded from Views) I have a Telerik Grid , with a custom Command I am trying to link to a Javascript function. 'OnManage'

columns.Command(Function(c) c.Custom("ManageMedia").Click("OnManage"))

This fails as the Grid does not see the javascript function and it stops the grid from even loading.

 @Robert.. How did you 'rework the scripts' to allow the Telerik components inside the Tabs to see the functions?

 

Many Thanks

Came back to this after leaving for a few days.

 Very easy answer.. with a Partial View, you need to define the Javascript functions at the top of the view, so they are loaded first.

 All working now.. :)

We Have any working sample example, I am trying to load same view in multiple tabs with different business logic and I have separate JavaScript for the each tab, but while loading same view in another Tab it's not loading and its not detecting the SCRIPT functions .
