MVC3 Ajax callbacks

Ok so I'm using MVC3 with razor and C#.

I have a common interface pattern that I'm using with modals.

If I'm on a form and there is a lookup field, I can click "Create" beside that lookup field. This pops up a jquery Modal dialog and displays the partial view for creating that item. I hit save it needs to close the modal and refresh the parent of that modal.

So if I have a modal already open and I open a new one from that one, I need it to reload the parent modal. I know how to do the reloads from jquery, my problem is figuring out when and where to do the callbacks with Ajax.ActionLink.

I saw "OnComplete" but how do I get that to be called? The submit button on the modals redirects to another page so how is it supposed to call the "OnComplete"

You could add some script to the dialog form that finds and closes the parent. However a better approach would be to use Ajax.Form instead of Html.BeginForm in your dialogs.

That way the submit button on the dialog will update only a specified area within the dialog and has an OnComplete handler that can close the dialog if required.
