asp.net mvc 3 calling a controller's action using either jquery or ajax

Question

I have a problem calling an action using javascript. So, I calculate a distance between two latitudes and longitudes. Now, If that distance is greater than 100 miles I want to call "distant" action in home controller that would return different view, but if it's less I would like to stay with index action. Any ideas? Thank you!

Partial view. I added all the javascript in Home/index view is it the right place to do it? — bobek

Ideally you'd move the javascript into a separate file and keep your view as clean as possible. — David Hoerster

if(distance > 100){ $.ajax({ url: "Home/Distant" }) } doesn't do anything, I still keep getting index view. I am sure that distance is greater than 100 though. — bobek

Why can't you just do something like:

if (distance > 100) {
  $.ajax({url: 'distantURL', ...});
} else {
  $.ajax({url: 'closeURL", ...});
}

Without additional information, it's tough to give a more detailed and/or accurate answer.

EDIT: Here's a nice walk-through tutorial of loading a partial view via jQuery's $.ajax() function, which sounds like what you want to do.
