  Refresh the browser once on load or clear the DOM

  Apr 22, 2012 10:00 AM|LINK

  Hi,

  I’ve read this can’t be done but it’s the only way I can see to make my application work, any ideas would be great!

  I have a dynamic MVC4, jQuery Mobile application that works for the most part quite well. I have an auto posting dropdown list that selects a list from the database via the following code.

  <script type="text/javascript">
      $(function () {
          $("#TownID").live('change', function () {
              var actionUrl = $('#TheForm1').attr('action') + '/' + $('#TownID').val();
              $('#TheForm1').attr('action', actionUrl);
              $('#TheForm1').submit();
          });
      });
  </script>
  
  <p>
      @using (Html.BeginForm("SearchTown", "Home", FormMethod.Post, new { id = "TheForm1" }))
      {
          @Html.DropDownList("TownID", (SelectList)ViewBag.TownId, "Select a Town")
      }
  </p>

  The problem is it only works properly the first time a search is performed unless I click refresh. I don’t think this has anything to do with MVC, I think the problem is with AJAX and jQuery Mobile.

  Edit:

  The first time I search www.mysite.com/Home/Search/2 yields a result and woks fine, but the second time something seems to be left behind in the DOM??? and it looks for:

  www.mysite.com/Home/Search/2/2 also 

  I get 404 errors in my log and “Error Loading Page” but it still finds the results and displays the page correctly!

  Then with a third search I get the error 404’s in my log and “Error Loading Page” but it has grown and now looks for:

  www.mysite.com/Home/Search/2/2 
  www.mysite.com/Home/Search/2/2/2 also

  This then continues to grow after every search until at some seemingly random point on each test, it seems to give up and I get error 505

  Can anyone tell me what might be going on here?

  Cheers,

  Mike.
