I have a list of employment records, you can also add an employment record from the same page using a partial view.
Heres employment.cshtml that has a partial view for the records list and a partial view to add a new record which appears in a modal pop up.
<h2>Employment Records</h2>
@{Html.RenderPartial("_employmentlist", Model);}
<p>
<a href="#regModal" class="btn btn_b" rel="fancyReg">Add New Record</a>
</p>
<div style="display:none">
<div id="regModal">
@{Html.RenderPartial("_AddEmployment", new ViewModelEmploymentRecord());}
</div>
</div>
Heres the partial view _AddEmployment.cshtml
@using (Html.BeginForm("AddEmployment, Application"))
{
@Html.ValidationSummary(true)
<div class="formEl_a">
<fieldset>
<legend></legend>
<div class="sepH_b">
<div class="editor-label">
@Html.LabelFor(model => model.employerName)
</div>
etc....etc....
</fieldset>
</div>
<p>
<input type="submit" class="btn btn_d" value="Add New Record" />
</p>
}
and heres my Application controller:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult AddEmployment(ViewModelEmploymentRecord model)
{
try
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
Add Data.....
}
}
catch
{
}
return View(model);
}
When compiling the following html is generated for the form:
<form action="/Application/Employment?Length=26" method="post">
It brings in a length string? and is invoking the Employment controller instead?
Hope all is clear....
QUESTION ONE: when I click the submit button from within the partial view it does not go to the controller specified to add the data. Can anyone see where im going wrong?
QUESTION TWO: When I get this working I would like to update the employment list with the new record....am I going about this the correct way? Any tips appreciated.
