ASP.NET MVC Set property of model during form send

Question

I have 2 submit buttons on ASP.NET MVC form:

@using (Html.BeginForm("ApplicationDriverForm", "ApplicationDriver", routeValues: new { CompanyUniqueString = Model.CompanyUniqueString }, method: FormMethod.Post, htmlAttributes: new { id="appForm1", name="appForm1" }))

{



    <div class="form-group">

        <div class="col-md-offset-2 col-md-10">

            <input type="submit" name="btnSave" id="btnSave" value="Save - but don't send" class="btn btn-default" />

        </div>

    </div>

    <div class="form-group">

        <div class="col-md-offset-2 col-md-10">

            <input type="submit" name="btnSend" id="btnSend" value="Send" class="btn btn-default" />

        </div>

    </div>

I want to set different parameters for one of model property. I try to do it using the following way:

<script type="text/javascript">

    jQuery(document).ready(function () {

        $('btnSave').on('click', function () {

            ev.preventDefault();

            $('input[id=@Html.IdFor(model=>model.Status)]').val('@Domain.StaticStrings.ApplicationDriverStatusStrings.Processing');

            if ($(this).valid())

                $('#appForm1').submit();

        });



        $('btnSend').on('click', function () {

            ev.preventDefault();

            $('input[id=@Html.IdFor(model=>model.Status)]').val('@Domain.StaticStrings.ApplicationDriverStatusStrings.Submit');

            if ($(this).valid())

                $('#appForm1').submit();

        });

    });

</script>

but nothing happened, these functions are not call at all, form is sending with empty Status property. Why?

Answer 1

You're calling ev.preventDefault(), but ev is undefined, because your handler functions don't take the event as a parameter. Change it to:

$('btnSave').on('click', function (ev) {

And

$('btnSend').on('click', function (ev) {
