MVC :: Setting Attributes Conditionally In Html.BeginForm
May 6, 2010
I have a form that should have all html elements disabled unless a user id is present, indicating that a user has been loaded for editing. I've done this, which works:
[Code]....
This works, and all is good. I couldn't set an if statement up to control creation of the entire Html.BeginForm, which was a bit of a pain. When I tried, the View thought I was creating 2 form begin tags with only one end tag, even though it was inside a conditional statement. Whatever. The problem I now have is that I need to assign an id for the form to work with a validation plugin. I can't add the id = "someID" inside of the condition, because it won't be available when the user id is present, which completely defeats the purpose. I can't move the ternary condition to inside of the 'new' statement - I tried. I thought this would work:
[Code]....
But no dice. I get the following error: Type of conditional expression cannot be determined because there is no implicit conversion between 'AnonymousType#1' and 'AnonymousType#2'. What? Seriously? I'm not trying to convert anything. I'm either assigning a new html attributes section with one set of values or another set of values. Since I can't perform the conditional logic inside of the 'new' statement, I have to recreate the entire 'new' statement after the condition is tested, but this still doesn't work, as I get the aforementioned error. As a short-term fix, I'm going to just render an actual html form tag with the required data, but I'd like to know why it is that code executed/rendered within conditional statements doesn't understand that both true and false results aren't running, and also how to fix this issue while still using the Html.BeginForm helper.
When I put a part of my form in a partial view, all form parts get unobstructive syntax except the form elements in the partial view. The only way I found how to "apply" the unobstructive syntax, is by starting another form inside the partial view.
<input class="text-box single-line" data-val="true" data-val-required="This field is required." id="Name" name="Name" type="text" value=""> <input id="SomeContent" name="SomeContent" type="text" value="0">
So only the input element from the View has the unobstructive syntax and the partial view hasn't... Is there a way to apply unobstructive syntax inside a partial view, wich doesn't require you to begin a new form?
i have a panel which iam showing as pop up with few textbox controls with several validation controls and button on clicking which i am checking for validation now i want to add a checkbox on checking it it should disable some of the controls and remove the validation properties from them and on unchecking it apply the same i am able to make those controls disabled but still on clicking that button it is asking for validating those controls
on the click event of checkbox i am calling one javascript function and applying the disabled attribute to some of the controls
function disableOtherElements(e) { var id = e.checked; if (id) { $('.dd').attr('disabled', true); } else { $('.dd').removeAttr('disabled'); } }
dd is the class assigned to all the controls that i want to be disabled. what i have to do to remove the validation properties
I new to ASP.NET and MVC so I went through the Build your First ASP.NET MVC 3 Application successfully. I want the database to auto insert the current dateTime.
I don't this is possible if I'm using the enity framework.
So, I've been trying to figure out how add a hidden field with the current date and time within the @using (Html.BeginForm()) but I haven't had any luck. Is this even possible?
I have a HTML.BeginForm() to change user's data (email, password etc) but I want to separate the contents at the same page, I mean that there will be:
MainContent with submit button and also - a HTML.BeginForm() with fields to change password + submit button - a HTML.BeginForm() with fields to change email + submit button
the thing is, I want to allow user to change his password without sending all form data to the controller, only data from the password fields.That View inherits from my buisness object with properties (Login, Password, Email etc)
I want to make validation of my password and confirmation password using Javascript.How can I set the onsubmit attribute on Html.BeginForm() to run then javascript, when submition occurs?using (Html.BeginForm("Create","Main",new{ onsubmit = "return (checkForm(this) && false);" })) { }
I've tried setting the Font-Bold and ForeColor properties on both the TabPanel and its parent TabContainer with no apparent results. I've also tried doing it through CSS, again with no success. Has anyone found a way to do this?
What is difference between using one or the another in MVC View page? How many Html.BeginForm/Html.EndForm can I place on aspx page? Is it preferable to use Html.BeginForm in a using pattern?
I seem to be missing something obvious here, but cannot see what it is. My problem is that the closing form tag for BeginForm is not being added to my markup. I am looping through a collection and creating a form for each item, but the forms arent closing properly.
<% foreach (var item in Model) { %> <% using (Html.BeginForm("EditUser","Users")) { %> [code]...
I am trying to make an AJAX Form work correctly with Client Validation, but I can't seem to figure out how to make it work together.Currently I have a view like this:
[Code]....
My model:
[Code]....
The client validation works on the Required and Stringlength attributes, but if I put an incorrectly formatted email, it still returns successful. Is there a special way to do the regular expression attribute? Or am I doing it wrong?
so on my view its going to Update Actionresult on button click.. itsdoing fyn.. but is there any way that we can do two action same time on Beginform.. that is Frist it need to go to GetStudentInfo, Home and then Immediatly Update, home?bec to update each and every time I need StudentInfo and then update
<% using (Html.BeginForm( "Update", "CcisCase", FormMethod.Post, new { id = "ccisEditForm" } ))
with a submit button:
In the RegisterRoutes method (in the HttpApplication-derived class in global.asax.cs), I've got: routes.IgnoreRoute( "{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}" ); routes.MapRoute( "CcisCase", "CcisCase/{action}/{cmDatabaseId}/{caseId}", new { Controller = "CcisCase", Action = "CcisCaseEdit", caseId = "" } );
The url generated by MVC ends with "/Update" but there are no parameters. What am I doing wrong?
Is there any way to change the HTML that is generated by default when you create a strongly typed view in MVC2? I currently get a structure like this:
[Code]....
I want to change it to a structure like this:
<div> <div><%: Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.user_login) %></div> <div><%: Html.LabelFor(model => model.user_login) %></div> <div><%: Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.user_login) %></div> <div>The username the user will use to log into the application.</div> </div> <div></div>
I have an MVC site that I've been developing and one of the requirements is cookieless sessions. When I use this code to start my forms. <% using (Html.BeginForm()) { %> I get the following output. <form action="/MyAccount/Home/Login" method="post"> if I use one of the overloads to specifiy the controller, action, route values, etc... <% using (Html.BeginForm("Login", "Home", new { ReturnUrl = Model.ReturnUrl }, FormMethod.Post)) { %>
I get the following output... <form action="/MyAccount/(S(npnaj4fn12x3ie45xzuyzjqn))/Home/Login" method="post"> I found this issue after I deployed it to our IIS 6 server. It works fine in the Visual Studio development web server.
I've run into an instance where I'd like to change the Enctype of the form declared in my current view's master page. I'd like to make the change in order to support attachments via Request.Files.
I'm sure I'm going about this wrong but I'm trying to write a simple javascript method that will set a hidden type value upon a link click. I'm using the Html.BeginForm() helper that contains two links similar to:
@Html.ActionLink("Delete Review Only", "Delete", new { id = Model.ReviewId }, new { onclick = "SetDeleteType(1);" })
The supportform name obviously doesn't exists since I'm using BeginForm() and can't specify a form name. Is there a clever way of doing this without calling Forms(0) using jQuery or something or am I completely off?
ASP.NET MVC - Multiple Buttons on a Form this is what I am trying to do too, except the first answer doesn't satisfy my requirements and the second one uses formcollection. I am not passing formcollection. I am passing values to the ActionResult method, because in my scenario, it doesn't make much sense to use formcollection, because user is hardly filling out any data. I really prefer using SubmitImage at the moment, so I would prefer if your solution doesn't involve me switching to css or input type etc. EDIT: I'm using Ajax.BeginForm and that seems to be the problem rather than Html.SubmitImage
I have a post-only action that has a different route. In my form, I need to post to it, but also keep the querystring values I currently have.
Initial response: /my/first/path/?val1=hello Needs to post to: /my/other/path/?val1=hello
It seems when I specify a route, it of course only returns the route and doesn't append the querystring values of my original page (for obvious reasons).Is it possible to cleanly append querystring values to my the action attribute of the form tag?
I'm working on this big project in MVC ASP.NET w VB.NETOne of my views is getting me headaches since a few and i'm not sure what's up.I've used the Begin.Form and Html.Encode methods alot in my other views and i never had any problems. Now this new Create.aspx view for one of my object called Automation is giving me multiple build errors such as those cited in the title plus
Error 184 'Context' is not a member of 'ASP.views_automatisation_create_aspx'. BeginForm is not a member of 'Html' Encode is not a member of HTML
My header is as follow (just like all of my other working views headers) : \ <%@ Page Title="" Language="VB" MasterPageFile="~/Views/Shared/Site.Master" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage(Of XXXXX_XXXXX.Automatisation)" %>
I wish to use the same form for adding and editing records within a database using a partial view. I understand that this is fine as the standard Html.BeginForm automatically output the correct html depending on the action that is being used (Add / Edit). However, I need to out said form with some extra HTML attributes. There does not appear to be an overload that allows this to happen without also specifying the ACTION and CONTROLLER names. If I hardcode these then surely I cant use the same form for edit and add automatically? Or am I missing something?
I need to add some attributes [URL] to the tag in an ASP.NET Page object. Note: I cannot do this in a declarative manner and have to use the server side object model to do it.
To add some additional information:
I need to do this within the ASP.NET Page rendering life cycle.
I need to add the attribute to the root element in the page.
