Window dynamic content via jquery?

[Kyle Pike]

Hi,

I'm trying to add a window to my project.

the window will only display when a button is clicked
i need to pass a value (a search term) to the Controller Action when it is created.

I see how to create the window using server tags, and how to set its load action

but how can i change the route values in the action - or set a fully formed url for the window to load - via the javascript methods?

i don't have to use Jquery, i just need a pop-up search just like we used in classic ASP.NET AJAX to be functional.

please advise.
thank you.

Hello Kyle,

First, you should serialize your search URL from the server like this:

var searchUrl = unescape('<%= Url.Action("Search", "Home", new { query = "{0}" }) %>');

Then, you can request the URL through the window client-side API like this:

$('#MyLovelyWindow').data('tWindow')
    .ajaxRequest($.telerik.formatString(searchUrl, "telerik"));

(the "{0}" in the search URL will be replaced by "telerik", like in String.Format).

All the best,
