I'm submitting this form to this controller
public void uploadimage(string DocName, string DocType, string DocDate, string d, string comments, HttpPostedFileBase file)
{
}
I'm getting all other parameters except DropDown value.Plus How can I get Value of checkbox(Checked or not). I'm not using any model and want to do without it.
First parameter is the name of field
#Html.DropDownList("DocType", null, new { #id = "", #onchange = "AddCategory();", #class = "required form-control" })
Dropdown bind with null value ?
#Html.DropDownList("ddlDocumentCategory", null, new { #id = "", #onchange = "AddCategory();", #class = "required form-control", #name= "DocType" })
Also make sure name of input fields same as string parameter.

I have a button outside this form, which posts the form with jquery ajax like this:
function editAccountDetails() {
jQuery.ajax({
url: "/recording/UpdateRecordingDetails",
type: 'POST',
data: $('frmRecordingEdit').serialize(),
dataType: "json",
contentType: "application/json",
success: function (data) {
alert(data);
}
});
}
In controller action method, I am not getting all these fields. I get only the ones which are in viewdata or which are not disabled and checkbox value. My action method is:
[Authorize]
public ActionResult UpdateRecordingDetails(FormCollection form, CallRecordingModel objCampaignMode)
{
return Content("testing");
}
neither formcollection note the model has all the fields values which are in the form.
[Edit]
form has values for
AccountIDsEdit
SelId
EditMode
Id
Email
Notes
isNotesVisible
isArchived
model has values in three fields
email, Id, notes

Please suggest solution to it.
data: $('frmRecordingEdit').serialize(),
should be:
data: $('#frmRecordingEdit').serialize(),
because that's how id selectors work in jQuery.
Also you haven't shown how/where you are calling the editAccountDetails function that is sending the AJAX request but if this is inside an onsubmit handler of the form or an onclick handler of a submit button of this form or an onclick handler of some anchor you should make sure that you return false from this handler to ensure that you are cancelling the default action and giving chance of the AJAX call to execute. If you do not cancel the default action the browser will simply redirect away from the page leaving no chance of any AJAX calls to execute.
I have 2 forms on a single razor view that open in seperate dialog boxes. The forms are submitted using jquery post..
First form works perfectly but the second form isnt recognised at all and when I try to serializr the data it returns an empty string.
Code below:
#using (Html.BeginForm("SaveElectricReading", "Store", FormMethod.Post, new { id = "frmSaveElectricReading" }))
{
<div id="electricDialog" style="display: none;" title="Electric Readings">
<p>
Please ensure the electric readings have been entered!
</p>
<table width="100%">
<tr>
<th>
Serial:
</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<input type="text" name="Serial" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>
Reading:
</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<input type="text" name="Reading" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<th>
Comment:
</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<div class="textwrapper">
<textarea rows="5" cols="10" name="Comment"></textarea>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
}
#using (Html.BeginForm("SaveWaterReading", "Store", FormMethod.Post, new { id = "myform" }))
{
<div id="waterDialog" style="display: none;" title="Water Readings">
<p>
Please ensure the water readings have been entered!
</p>
<table width="100%">

</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<div class="textwrapper">
<textarea rows="5" cols="10" name="WaterComment"></textarea>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
}
function showWaterDialog() {
var $dialog = $('#waterDialog').dialog({
autoOpen: false,
modal: true,
width: 400,
height: 400,
buttons: {
Submit: function () {
// $('#frmCreateStore').submit();
var data = $('#frmSaveWaterReading');
$.post("/Store/SaveWaterReading",
$("#frmSaveWaterReading").serialize(),
function () {
$("#waterDialog").dialog("close");
});
//$(this).dialog("close");
},
Cancel: function () {
$(this).dialog("close");
}
}
});
$dialog.dialog('open');
}
In the jquery function for showing the dialog with the form in it, I needed to add that dialog content to the second form on the page as follows:
$("#waterDialog").parent().appendTo($("form").eq(1)[0]);
I have the following problem. I am using an AjaxForm in ASP MVC 3 and the LoadingElementId works fine only in the first request, it is not shown on the next ones. Why can this be happening?

The Controller
[Ajax(true)]
[CacheControl(HttpCacheability.NoCache),HttpGet]
public ActionResult Index(string id, string startDate, string endDate, string postCode, string salesPersonId, string salesPersonRef,
string orderTypeId, string serialNo, string customerPO)
{
var service = new eSodSrv();
var viewModel = service.GetHeaders(id.ToInt32(), salesPersonId.ToInt32(), orderTypeId.ToInt32(), startDate.ToDate(), endDate.ToDate(), postCode, customerPO, serialNo, salesPersonRef);
return PartialView("SearchResults",viewModel);
}
EDIT
I think I've tracked what the problem is. After the AJAX call when I make a document.getElementById('ajaxSplash') I get null. I still have no idea why this is happening though
I actually prefer not to do it this way and instead in my layout define a div and attach
$('#waitImageDiv')
.hide()
.ajaxStart(function() {
$(this).show();
})
.ajaxStop(function() {
$(this).hide();
})
;
ANY ajax events will automatically show this image then automatically.
OK I found the solution, it seems that LoadingElementId will only work if the div is inside the AJAX Form, otherwise the div will end up as a null after the first call.
It looks like the loading element div must be the first element in the ajax form for the feature to work properly.
Try the following:
#using ( Ajax.BeginForm(new AjaxOptions()
{
HttpMethod = "GET",
UpdateTargetId = "results",
LoadingElementId = "ajaxSplash",
InsertionMode = InsertionMode.Replace
}))
{
#Html.Partial("AjaxSplash")
....
