Question

i need help with ASP MVC.
I have:

<% using (Html.BeginForm(null,null,FormMethod.Post)) {%>
    <p>
         <input type="submit" value="Choose" />
          .
          .
          .
          <%=Html.ActionLink("Save", "Index")%>
    </p>
<% } %>

And i need to submit the form by that ActionLink, because i need to get selectedValue from dropdownlist and i do not know any way how to do that else then from FormCollection or parameter in method with attribute POST.

So i need to call this function after click on action link.

    [AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
    public ActionResult Index(FormCollection formValues)
    {
    }

I tried something with jquery and Ajax.ActionLink but everything called the GET method of Index. (new { onclick = "$(this).parents('form').first().submit();" – did not work for me -it also called the GET method)

Answer 1

You need to call the form’s submit and then return false. Javascript:

$(function() {
    $('find-your-link').click(function(e) {
        e.preventDefault();
        $(this).parents('form').first().submit();
    });
});

That should submit the form without sending you to the GET URL.
