Fix for MVC4 RC Mobile with AJAX

In default MVC4 RC Mobile Application project ajax doesn’t seem to work correctly. For some reason this few lines were removed from MVC4 RC (it was there in MVC4 Beta)

$(document).bind("mobileinit", function () {
  // As of Beta 2, jQuery Mobile's Ajax navigation does not work in all cases (e.g.,
  // when navigating from a mobile to a non-mobile page, or when clicking "back"
  // after a form post), hence disabling it.
  $.mobile.ajaxEnabled = false;
}

To fix it you need to add the lines above before jquerymobile script

@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquery")  
//add unobtrusive-ajax just like in normal web application
<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
//and disable mobile ajax just like in beta release
<script>
  $(document).bind("mobileinit", function () {
    $.mobile.ajaxEnabled = false;
  });
</script>
@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquerymobile")  

Then all the functionality from How to use MVC3 with AJAX post will work correctly in Mobile application.

  1. The post provides a practical fix for AJAX behavior in the MVC4 RC Mobile Application by explaining how the removal of specific mobileinit configuration affected jQuery Mobile navigation. Adding the unobtrusive AJAX script and disabling jQuery Mobile AJAX before loading the jQuery Mobile bundle offers a clear, implementation-focused solution for restoring the expected functionality.

    The example is also useful because it shows how JavaScript configuration and script-loading order can influence application behavior. Developers working with older MVC and mobile web applications can apply the same debugging mindset when investigating conflicts between client-side libraries, AJAX navigation, and framework-specific functionality.

  2. The discussion connects these fixes with broader web application development, particularly the integration of server-side MVC functionality with client-side JavaScript and AJAX features. Understanding how these components interact can help developers troubleshoot similar issues and build more reliable browser-based applications. Web Development Projects
