I am struggling to figure out how to redirect the user to a different page from within a controller.

I created a partial view with the RegisterWidget[] decorator in the controller so the CMS will pick it up.

I build a new inner template and add my widget. Then I set up a content page and assign to my inner template.

All of this works great. The url renders, my GET method fires and I populate the model. Page works exactly like I need it.

The problem starts when I set up a form that does a POST back to the controller. I need to pull in my page model properties, populate the class object and save. That all works.

At the end of the postback, I want to redirect the user to a different place. For example, the home page. I can't figure out how to redirect at the end of the POST method.

I've tried copying examples I've found elsewhere in Able, nothing works. All it does is render the actual javascript instead of executing it.

Here's my form:

Code:


                @using (Html.BeginForm("Proceed", "RegisterInvitee", FormMethod.Post))
                {
                    @Html.AntiForgeryToken()
                    <p>
                        As a non-US Citizen, no further details are required.
                    </p>
                    @Html.HiddenFor(model => model.Email)
                    <input type='Submit' value='Proceed To Welcome Page' class="btn btn-primary" />
                }



Here's the method:
Code:

        [AllowAnonymous]
        [HttpPost]
        [ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
        public JavaScriptResult Proceed(RegisterInviteeModel model)
        {
            // pull up user specified in model
            User u = _userRepo.LoadForUserName(model.Email);
            if (u != null)
            {
                // user object exists, update address profile
                Address address = u.PrimaryAddress;

                // set address flag based on citizenship
                address.Residence = false;
                _addressRepo.Save(address);

                // authenticate this user account into Able
                FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(model.Email, false);
            }

            // we're done, dump user to home page
            //return PartialView("_RegisterInvitee", model);
            return JavaScript(string.Format(" window.location = '{0}' ", Url.Content("~/")));
        }


Here is all I see when the method ends with the redirect

Apparently this works when using ActionResult as the return type. Mucho thank you to Joy @ Web2Market for the help!

Code:

return RedirectToLocal("~/Account");
