Returning a Partial View (ActionResult HandleFormPost(ContactModel model))

[system]

Hi all,

I have a pop-up form as follows (which uses FancyBox to display a certain DIV in the DOM that is previously hidden and contains a Partial):

In my surface controller I have:

    /// <summary>
    /// For more information, see:
    /// http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6282049/form-with-attachments-upload-and-email-sending
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="model">The popup form model</param>
    /// <returns>The ActionResult</returns>
    public ActionResult HandleFormPost(PopupFormModel model)
    {
        try
        {
            if (ModelState.IsValid)
            {
                // Then good to submit.
                var sb = new StringBuilder();
                sb.AppendFormat("<p>Name: {0}</p>", model.Name);
                sb.AppendFormat("<p>Email: {0}</p>", model.Email);
                sb.AppendFormat("<p>{0}</p>", model.Message);

                using (var client = new SmtpClient())
                {
                    EnquiryType enquiryType = Enquiries.GetEnquiryByID(model.EnquiryType);

                    if (enquiryType != null)
                    {
                        var mail = new MailMessage();
                        mail.To.Add(enquiryType.EmailAddress);
                        mail.Subject = "Website Form Submission";
                        mail.Body = sb.ToString();
                        if (model.Attachment.HasFile())
                        {
                            var attachment = new Attachment(model.Attachment.InputStream, model.Attachment.FileName);
                            mail.Attachments.Add(attachment);
                        }
                        client.Send(mail);
                        return PartialView("Webtechy_Success");
                    }
                    return PartialView("Webtechy_Error");
                }
            }
            return CurrentUmbracoPage(); // Not valid, there is something they need to fill in.
        }
        catch(Exception ex)
        {
            return PartialView("Webtechy_Error");
        }
    }

However, rather than just updating the contents of the pop-up box, it’s returning the Partial view taking up the whole page.

Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Ben
