Question

Im manually Creating the table using the built in razor GETHtml Function.

@table.GetHtml(
    columns: table.Columns(
        table.Column("Account"),
        table.Column("Due"),
        table.Column("Topic"),
        table.Column("Type"),
        table.Column("Completed?", format:  @<input id="Complete" name="Complete" type="checkbox" onclick="/Tasks/Complete?ID=700" />)
        )
)

What I want is a way of clicking a checkbox, or button to activate the controller. it is not accepting Dynamic checkbox. Nor does the html checkbox do anything.

Answer 1

I Have a working solution without using forms, the column would be set using the following code:

table.Column("Completed?", format: @<input type="checkbox" onclick="location.href='@Url.Action("Complete", "Tasks", new { TaskID = item.TaskID })'" />

I think its possible that having the name property was causing it to post it as a parameter, rather than treat it as a submit.
Otherwise it must ahve been the onclick event. Ive used location.href, then set it using razor syntax, and included the id as a property.
