Can we set an id attribute as I would for something like a table column via: for an html dropdown list element that is created with a helper such as:
<% for (int i = 0; i < Model.Trx.TransactionHolidayCityCollection.Count; i++)
{%>
<%= i > 0 ? "," : "" %>
<%= DropDownData.HolidayDays().ToList().Find(item => item.Value == Model.Trx.TransactionHolidayCityCollection[i].HolidayCityID.Value.ToString()).Text %>
<%} %>
I have created a CheckBoxList and a CheckBoxListFor helpers that I am using as follows:
[Code]....
[Code]....
What am I doing wrong? I think in CheckBoxListFor I might get the u.Roles values and fill the SelectList selected items if they don't match?
i am really confuse about the html dropdown helper. i cant reli find one info which describe clearly about every overload and how to use them.currently i gone through a problem which i spent one day and still cant resolve it, really hope can get the help here since i need to make tis work for my final year project..i have a food table, and a foodtype table. each food will have a type, so the FoodTypeID is the FK for Food table.i want to have a create and edit page for Food. on the page, i want to provide a dropdownlist for user to select the food typethe FoodTypeName column that store the food type description is at the FoodType table, so i need to get the value of FoodTypeID based on user selection on the dropdown.I had tried for hourssss to do this bt i either get a compilation or cant save the new foodType selected in db
[Code]....
in fact, i not reli understand wat should be put inside the model => xxx and the dropdown helper overload, i am writing this based on the mvc tutorial
I think I need to drop in some escape characters, but I'm not quite sure where. Here is the javascript function I'm attempting to call:
function setData(associateValue, reviewDateValue) {
var associate = document.getElementById("Associate");
var reviewDate = document.getElementById("ReviewDate");
associate.value = associateValue;
reviewDate.value = reviewDateValue;
}
Here is the asp .net mvc line where I'm attempting to create a Radio button with a click event that calls the above function and passes data from the model as javascript parameter values.
<%= Html.RadioButton("Selected", item.Selected, new { onClick="setData('<%=item.Associate%>','<%=item.ReviewDate%>' )" } )%>
The above throws a bunch of compile issues and doesn't work. A call such as the following does call the javascript, but doesn't get the data from the model.
<%= Html.RadioButton("Selected", item.Selected, new { onClick="setData('item.Associate','item.ReviewDate' )" } )%>
<%= Html.RadioButton("Selected", item.Selected, new { onClick="setData('item.Associate','item.ReviewDate' )" } )%>
<% String functionCall = String.Format("setData('{0}','{1}')", Html.Encode(item.Associate), Html.Encode(item.ReviewDate )) ; %>
<%= Html.RadioButton("Selected", item.Selected, new { onClick=functionCall } )%>
It's a little unclear for me on when to use a custom helper method and when to use RenderAction and also when to simply use ViewData instead. Some of their functions overlap slightly.
For example, if I were to create a Category navigation bar, would I create a new helper method and place that in some partial view? I had initially though of doing this, but I read on some blog to use RenderAction instead.
Assume the list of categories is coming from some data source.
<%= Html.RouteLink(">>>", new { page = (Model.PageIndex + 1) },null)%>
Is it possible to set image instead ">>>" and how?
I've been tryin to find an example of the syntax for getting an html 'title' for a string when using Html.Encode(). I want to display the full name in the mouseover title, if it's too long.
Is there a way to do this without wrapping the string in a < span >, i.e.
<span title = "<%=Html.Encode(model.Name) %>"> //displays the full name on mouseover
<%=Html.Encode(model.Name.Substring(0, 10))%>... //displays the name up to a max length
</span>
Or should I just do it this way?
I was wondering if it's possible to render an Html Helper in a View inside a codeblock. So instead of:
[code]....
And have this render. Of course as it is, it wont render, so is there a way to programically decide if a textbox can be added without having to have a million delimiters in the page to accomplish this?
I am trying to create 2 Html helpers but that use the String Type as in MVC 2.
1. Html.FileFor Would render something like: <input type="file"
2. Html.Buttom and Html.Submit that would render <input type="button" or <input type="submit" In this case I suppose it makes no sense to have the For.
I know how to do (2) unless there would be something more than rendering the help and defining the Html attributes. However (1) I don't know how to do it
Is there a way to retrieve the client side ID for a model property similar to how the helpers like LabelFor etc generate the ID? For example, I have a model with a DateOfBirth property. I want to hook up that field to a jQuery DatePicker. Normally, I would hook up the date picker like this:
[Code]....
This works fine but hard codes the DateOfBirth property name. Ideally, I would like to use this:
[Code]....
Is this already available out of the box somewhere? I just created an extension method on the HtmlHelper class that does exactly this, but I wondered if there was already something built-in so I don't have to reinvent and test the wheel.
i am using html.textboxfor to display the amount (int) from my model. currently once the form is shown, the default amount is = 0. i wish to have the default set as 1, is it possible to overwrite the default for html helper??

public static class ViewHelpers
{
public static string Text(this HtmlHelper htmlHelper, string name, object value, bool isEditMode)
{
htmlHelper.RenderAction(...) //cannot be called
}
}

In a webforms application, it's possible to add a server control to the markup and then access that control from the corresponding code behind file, but I'm not sure of the MVC equivalent of this functionality.
I've been looking at some tutorials, and it appears that in MVC applications, instead of using server controls, the examples are using HTML helpers, such as Html.TextBox, etc.
However, while I can find examples html helpers in views, I can't find any examples of how these helpers are accessed in the controllers, so I've declared an Html.TextBox in my view but don't know how to access its value in the controller when I hit enter.
I need an Html Helper that renders an action to as a string.
View 1 Replieshow can I create a html helper for tny mce htlm editor?
View 1 RepliesI would in normal asp.net use a theme to turn off autocomplete on all text boxes on an entire site. However i cannot do this on MVC because nothing in the theme .skin files seems to work.
I have this in my .skin file:
<asp:TextBox runat="server" autocomplete="off" />
however this does not render at all, of course because this is not how MVC works. Anyway is there any way i can get this sort of thing to work.The site i am trying to do it on is too big to warrant changing every textbox or creating a new HTML helper to solve the issue?
I'm new to MVC and am trying to create some more user friendly controls for use on the Create views. I'm able to render a control using a combination of extensions and partial views, however I am unable to bind to those controls as I am with the out of the box controls like html.textboxfor such as:
Html.TextBoxFor( model => model.Capability_Menu_Group_Id)
Although the controls renders on the create form, the value is not set on create. I would like to set up this same construct used with TextBoxFor for my custom controls.
In my controller I generated a SelectList that I pass to the dropdown helper:<%= Html.DropDownList("abc123", Model.SomeList) %>I look at the querystring for a value, which is a ID.I then loop through all the items in the SelectList and if it is equal to the ID, I do:The controller action then passes this SelectList to the view and then to the Html helper.In debug mode I can see the value does get set to true, but the html renders without selecting the item.
