I have the following dynamically created textboxes in my view:
@for (int i = 0; i < Model.MullionList.Count; i++)
{
ItemDrops curMullItem = Model.MullionList.ElementAt(i);
<div class="form-group">
@Html.Label(curMullItem.ItemName.ToString(), new { @class = "col-sm-6 control-label" })
<div class="col-sm-6">
@Html.TextBoxFor(x => x.MullionList[i].ItemPossInfo, new { @class = "form-control" })
@Html.HiddenFor(x => x.MullionList[i].ItemName)
</div>
</div>
}
I noticed occaionally for certain types of product this was returning null when posted (for MullionList), even though i selected these dropdowns.
so it works for certain product but not others.
The even weirder part is when i remove this section further down the view it works (ie MulionList is not null when the form is posted)
<div class="form-group">
@Html.Label("Glass", new { @class = "col-sm-6 control-label", id = "glass-first-label" })
<div class="col-sm-6">
@Html.DropDownListFor(gu => gu.GlassItems[0].Value, Model.GlassTypes, "-- Select --", new { @class = "form-control glass-multi-select", id = "Glass" + 0 })
</div>
</div>
<div id="hidden-glass-select" style="display: none">
@for (int i = 1; i < Model.GlassUnitsCount; i++)
{
var glassUnit = Model.GlassUnits.ElementAt(i);
<div class="form-group">
@Html.Label(glassUnit.ToString(), new { @class = "col-sm-6 control-label" })
<div class="col-sm-6">
@Html.DropDownListFor(gu => gu.GlassItems[i].Value, Model.GlassTypes, "-- Select --", new { @class = "form-control glass-multi-select", id = "Glass" + i })
</div>
</div>
}
</div>
<div class="form-group">
@Html.LabelFor(go => go.GlazzingInfoVal, "Glazzing Option", new { @class = "col-sm-6 control-label" })
<div class="col-sm-6">
@Html.DropDownListFor(go => go.GlazzingInfoVal, Model.GlazzingOptions, "-- Select --", new { @class = "form-control" })
