Question

I know I’m doing something wrong somewhere, could somebody point it out to me?

I have a viewmodel, containing a CurrentSection property

public String CurrentSection {get; set;}

In the view, I call the viewmodel and jQuery

@model Application1.ViewModels.fooVM

@Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquery")

Then I do the following (Which works in JSFiddle)

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function () {
        $("#CurrentSection").val('SecStoreIndex');
    });
</script>

@Html.EditorFor(X => X.CurrentSection)

With the EditorFor rendering as

<input id="CurrentSection" name="CurrentSection" type="hidden" value="" />

Can anyone point out what I’m doing wrong?

Answer 1

I am holding my hands up and owning up to stupidity.

I was attempting to view the dynamically changed value view viewing the pages source. It suddenly occurred to me this does not show up. I threw in an alert and the value is being changed.

Sorry to waste your time.
