mvc4 ajax beginform,c# - MVC4 Ajax.BeginForm not replacing UpdateTargetId - Stack Overflow

There are so many topics on SO about issues with the Ajax.BeginForm not correctly updating the target element with the return partial view:

mvc4 ajax updating same page

ASP.NET MVC 4 - Ajax.BeginForm and html5

MVC 4 (razor) - Controller is returning a partialview but entire page is being updated

MVC 4 Ajax is not updating the PartialView within the page

However, all of these are answered by either manually writing out the jQuery ajax, or including a missing javascript file.

@using (Ajax.BeginForm("PostcardDetails", new AjaxOptions()

{

InsertionMode = InsertionMode.Replace,

UpdateTargetId = "details"

}))

{

@{Html.RenderAction("PostcardSearchResults", Model);}

}

Relevant controller code:

[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post | HttpVerbs.Get)]

public ActionResult PostcardSearchResults(PostcardSearchFilter filter)

{

PostcardSearchResults model = new PostcardSearchResults(filter);

return PartialView("_PostcardSearchResults", model);

}

In my layout, I am referencing these jQuery files. Additionally, I've verified that the page is outputting the proper path, and that it finds the correct files. I've tried switching the ordering of unobtrusive-ajax.min.js and validate.min.js, to no success.

Additionally, in my website's root web.config, and the web.config in my View folder, I have included:

I'm at a loss for where else to look. There are no javascript errors being thrown, and the controller is being properly hit, returning a PartialViewResult. The Form element in the HTML is populating all the correct data- attributes.
