Why are the ajax.actionlink results going to a new webpage instead of to a specified DIV element?

I've run into another Ajax problem in ASP.NET MVC I have the following Ajax.ActionLink that successfully retrieves the desired data. The problem is, instead of placing the results into the

element like Ajax is intended for, it instead reloads the web page and gives the data result at the top of an otherwise blank web page.

I'm trying to figure out why it's not placing the results in the div tag. I'm not currently using a partial view, but I've seen it done with and without a partial view before.

What I have tried:

@Ajax.ActionLink("LOCUS", "Get", "api/CompRounds",
new { Param1 = 1, Param1 = "dat1" },
new AjaxOptions
{
HttpMethod = "GET",
UpdateTargetId = "divCompRounds",
InsertionMode = InsertionMode.Replace
}, new { style = "margin-right:10px", @class = "btn btn-success" })

You probably aren't including the unobtrusive ajax js files

Ajax.ActionLink and Html.ActionLink in MVC
[^]

If you are including them make sure they're loading ok (check the network tab of the browser tools) and also check there aren't other js errors in the error console. It's most likely that you're just not including the unobtrusive js files though.
