How to put a form in the _Layout view?

Question

I’m trying to make a website with support for two languages.

First test I did was to put this code inside a view common, the index of my control Home.

Worked perfectly.

When I put the same code in a partial view and call him in the view _layout it doesn’t work. Can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong?

Below is the code as it is in partial view, what doesn’t work is form Submit.

@{
    var culture = System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture.Name.ToLowerInvariant();
}

@helper selected(string c, string culture)
{
if (c == culture)
{
        @:checked="checked"
        }
}

@using (Html.BeginForm("SetCulture", "Home"))
{
    <fieldset>
        <legend></legend>
        <div class="control-group">
            <div class="controls">
                <label for="en-us">
                    <input name="culture" id="en-us" value="en-us" type="radio" @selected("en-us", culture) /> English <img src="http://st.xptotube.com/img/180x135/l/blank.png" class="flag flag-us" alt="United States of America" />
                </label>
            </div>
        </div>
        <div class="control-group">
            <div class="controls">
                <label for="pt-br">
                    <input name="culture" id="pt-br" value="pt-br" type="radio" @selected("pt-br", culture) /> Portugues <img src="http://st.xptotube.com/img/180x135/l/blank.png" class="flag flag-br" alt="Brasil" />
                </label>
            </div>
        </div>

    </fieldset>
}



@section Scripts {
    @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jqueryval")
    <script type="text/javascript">
        (function ($) {
            $("input[type = 'radio']").click(function () {
                $(this).parents("form").submit(); // post form
            });

        })(jQuery);
    </script>
}

I’m calling him that on _Layout:

@Html.Partial("_Language")

Answer 1

Partials can’t stand it @section Scripts. The correct thing would be for this code to stay in _Layout or any View, but it would have to be modified. Don’t leave it on Partial.

My suggestion to _Layout:

    <script type="text/javascript">
        (function ($) {
            $("input[type='radio'][name='culture']").click(function () {
                $(this).parents("form").submit(); // post form
            });

        })(jQuery);
    </script>
