Question

I’m loading different forms into the same div, based on a drop down… all the others seem to work when they’re told to submit via JQuery except this one… anyone know why? Thanks….

@using (Html.BeginForm("SaveInMemoryPayment", "Payment", FormMethod.Post))
{
@Html.ValidationSummary(true)


<p> Payment type: Cash. No further action needed. Plase click Save to finish. </p>


<input type="hidden" name="PaymentTypeID" id="paymentTypeIDHidden" value="@Model.PaymentTypeID" />
<input type="hidden" name="DonationID" id="donationIDHidden" value="@Model.DonationID" />
<input type="hidden" name="PaymentDate" id="paymentDateHidden" value="@Model.PaymentDate" />
<input type="hidden" name="PaymentAmount" id="paymentAmountHidden" value="@Model.PaymentAmount" /> 

}

Here’s a form that does work…

@using (Html.BeginForm("SaveInMemoryPayment", "Payment", FormMethod.Post))
{
@Html.ValidationSummary(true)

<p>Check information:</p>

<div class="editor-label" id="check1">
        @Html.LabelFor(model => model.CheckNumber)
    </div>
    <div class="editor-field" id="check1.2">
        @Html.EditorFor(model => model.CheckNumber)
        @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.CheckNumber)
    </div>


@Html.HiddenFor(x => x.PaymentTypeID)
@Html.HiddenFor(x => x.DonationID)
@Html.HiddenFor(x => x.PaymentDate)
@Html.HiddenFor(x => x.PaymentAmount)


}

They both post back to the same place… but the first one won’t. These forms are loaded into a div in a parent view that has a save button… that button opens a dialog, that has an OK button with this in its click: $(‘#paymentSection2’).find(‘form’).submit();

Yes you can submit a form with only hidden fields.
