Question

Using ASP.NET, how do I make this button tag submit my ASP.NET form when clicked:

<button>Submit</button>

I’d like it to do a post back just like a regular asp.net server control button would work. I’d prefer a jquery way to do it if possible.

Answer 1

$('button').on('click', function(){
    $(this).closest('form').submit(); 
});

On button click, it will find the closest form (which will be the parent) and submit it by passing the form to the action where you can access the values through your defined method; either get or post.

I think this is what you’re asking.
