Question

I am a little bit confused on something now, i have a view that on the top has a dropdownlist, when the client selects from the list, in javascript i populate 3 textboxes from a database. Below that i have a list of textboxes that the client must fill, when he finishes he clicks on a button that makes some calculations, and i want them to appear in a table in the same page. When everything is done he can click save. So i have 2 submit buttons on the same view, i tried out something that i found from here, but when i press the calculation buttone it refreshes the whole page and removes the previous values. thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Submit buttons will do exactly that – submit the form, meaning the form will be posted to the server and the response will be loaded into the browser.

Instead of submit buttons, use regular buttons – <input type="button"> and attach in JavaScript (jQuery) to the click event.
