I am trying to pass values to my controller, from my view using ajax. I am relatively new to using ajax so I need some help figuring this out.

Error Message:
Here is where the red squiggly lines are happenning when I receive the error message:
Your AJAX and Controller look fine... the error reported is because your javascript function can't be found (isn't present) at the time that the HTML is loaded for the Submit input (usually this is because the JS isn't loaded until after the DOM, my guess is that your script block is at the end of your body and not in the head (which is fine/preferred, just needs to be handled a bit differently)).
I typically prefer to bind events via JS rather than the HTML. Remove the onclick="sendToController()" from your HTML, and add this to your JavaScript:
$("#FormID").on('submit', function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
sendToController();
return false; // prevent submit from submitting
});
function sendToController() {
// your other code here
}
Change FormID to the ID of the form as required.

I am trying to passed the value from the MVC form to JavaScript. I am using bootstrap to hide and show field. when I remove the bootstrap hide and show functionality on the form I will get the value in the message box but when the Hide/Show is enable I cannot get the value as shown by the image below. can anyowne tell me where I am going wrong
HTML
#using (Html.BeginForm("SearchPatient","HOME", FormMethod.Post, new { enctype = "multipart/form-data" }))
{
#Html.AntiForgeryToken()
<div class="form-horizontal">
<div class="form-group">
#Html.Label("Search Criteria", htmlAttributes: new { #class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
#Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.SearchCriteria,
new List<SelectListItem> {
new SelectListItem { Value = "" , Text = "Select Search Criteria" },
new SelectListItem { Value = "1" , Text = "Patient Id" },
}, new { #class = "form-control selectchosen" })
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group" id="PatientId" style="display:none">
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.PatientId, htmlAttributes: new { #class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
#Html.EditorFor(model => model.PatientId, new { htmlAttributes = new { #class = "form-control " } })

<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-lg-offset-2">
<input type="button" value="Search" class="btn btn-success" id="btnSubmit" onclick="Enablecontrols();" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
}
JavaScript
<script type="text/javascript">
$('#SearchCriteria').change(function () {
if ($("#SearchCriteria").val() == 1) {
$("#AllShow").show();
$("#PatientId").show();
ValidateField("PatientId", true);
}
function Enablecontrols() {
$(document).ready(function () {
var patientid = $("#PatientId").val();
if ($("#SearchCriteria").val() == 1) {
alert("I am an alert box! the patient number is" + patientid);
}
}
}
</script>
rather than use the show/hide methods of bootstrap, use toggle. It's more reliable.
If that doesn't work you can also use $('#PatientId').css('display','block');
Issue fixed by changing the ID of the Div to dPatientId
Stupid mistake
I cannot figure out why my view only passes back a NULL for a model to my controller.
This is for an Edit Post method. I checked other controllers with Edit Post methods that are structured the same way as this one and they work fine. It seems to be just this view and controller.
Here is my view:
#model Non_P21_Quote_System_v1._0.Models.gl_code
#{
ViewBag.Title = "Edit";
Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml";
}
<h2>Edit</h2>
#if (TempData["Message"] != null)
{
<div style="color:green">
#TempData["Message"]
</div><br />
}
#if (ViewBag.error != null)
{
<div style="color:red">
<h3>#ViewBag.error</h3>
</div><br />
}
#using (Html.BeginForm())
{
#Html.AntiForgeryToken()
<div class="form-horizontal">
<h4>gl_code</h4>
<hr />
#Html.ValidationSummary(true, "", new { #class = "text-danger" })
#Html.HiddenFor(model => model.ID)
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.GL_code, "GL Code", htmlAttributes: new { #class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
#Html.EditorFor(model => model.GL_code, new { htmlAttributes = new { #class = "form-control" } })
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.GL_code, "", new { #class = "text-danger" })
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.GL_description, "Gl Description", htmlAttributes: new { #class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
#Html.EditorFor(model => model.GL_description, new { htmlAttributes = new { #class = "form-control" } })
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.GL_description, "", new { #class = "text-danger" })
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.expense_type_ID, "Expense", htmlAttributes: new { #class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
#Html.DropDownList("expense_type_ID", null, htmlAttributes: new { #class = "form-control" })
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.expense_type_ID, "", new { #class = "text-danger" })
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.eag, "Employee Account Group", htmlAttributes: new { #class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
#Html.DropDownList("eag", null, htmlAttributes: new { #class = "form-control" })
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.eag, "", new { #class = "text-danger" })
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-offset-2 col-md-10">
<input type="submit" value="Save" class="btn btn-default" />
</div>
</div>
</div>
}
<div>
#Html.ActionLink("Back to List", "gl_Index")
</div>
#section Scripts {
#Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jqueryval")
}
Here is my controller method:
[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public async Task<ActionResult> Edit([Bind(Include = "ID,GL_code,GL_description,expense_type_ID,eag")] gl_code gl_code)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
db.Entry(gl_code).State = EntityState.Modified;
await db.SaveChangesAsync();
return RedirectToAction("gl_Index");
}
ViewBag.eag = new SelectList(db.employee_account_group, "ID", "eag_name");
ViewBag.expense_type_ID = new SelectList(db.expense_type, "ID", "type", gl_code.expense_type_ID);
return View(gl_code);
}
When I debug it, I see the model being passed in is of value NULL. I am seeing this on the controller side at the the parameters part of the Edit method.
Its null because your model contains a property named gl_code and you have also named the parameter for your model gl_code in the POST method.
Change the name of one or the other and the model will bind correctly.
What is happening internally is that the form submits a name/value pair for each successful form control, in your case gl_code=someValue. The DefaultModelBinder first initializes a new instance of your model. It then reads the form values and finds a match for the property in your model and sets it to someValue. But it also finds a match in the method parameters and tries set the value of the parameter to someValue, which fails (because you cannot do gl_code gl_code = "someValue";) and the model becomes null.
It appears you have a property on your view model called gl_code. In your controller, you also refer to the view model as gl_code.
Try changing this.
public async Task<ActionResult> Edit(gl_code gl_code)
To
public async Task<ActionResult> Edit(gl_code model)
Im new on using Summernote Textarea , and Im having difficulties on passing the value on a summernote textarea. Tried using the conventional .html(), .text() and .val() to pass the value of my dropdown and append it inside the textarea. Here is my set of codes
$("#btnAddVariable").click(function (e) {
var eVariable = $("#EmailVariable option:selected").val();
$("#EmailMessage").val(eVariable);
$("#EmailMessage").text(eVariable);
alert(eVariable);
})
My Dropdown
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.EmailVariable, htmlAttributes: new { #class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-6">
#Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.EmailVariable, new SelectList(ViewBag.emailVariables, "Value", "Text"), "Please Select", htmlAttributes: new { #class = "form-control" })
#* #Html.DropDownList(model => model.EmailVariable, new SelectList(ViewBag.emailSender, "Value", "Text"), "Please Select", htmlAttributes: new { #class = "form-control" })*#
</div>
<div class="col-md-2">
<input type="button" id="btnAddVariable" value="Add Variable" class="btn btn-primary chosen" />
</div>
</div>
and my Summernote Textarea
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.EmailMessage, htmlAttributes: new { #class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-8">
<div class="ibox-content no-padding">
#Html.TextAreaFor(model => model.EmailMessage, new { #class = "summernote", rows = "5", cols = "90" })
</div>
</div>
</div>
Hoping someone can help me with this. Thanks in Advance
Here is the solution:
$("#btnAddVariable").click(function (e) {
var eVariable = $("#EmailVariable option:selected").val();
$("#EmailMessage").val(eVariable);
$(".summernote").summernote('code',eVariable); //add text to summernote
alert(eVariable);
});
Try with
$("textarea.note-codable").val(eVariable);
Has anyone has an example using WebImage.GetImageFromRequest(); and Jquery to retrieve the file content?
I have this form and works fine without using Jquery. But after implementing Jquery I cannot retrieve data out of my object nor can get the file that I retrieved using WebImage.GetImageFromRequest helper.
I have seen a lot of examples utilising Jquery retriving just files, but not an example where I can retrieve data's object AND the file helper (WebImage.GetImageFromRequest();)

In MVC 5,
I have a Dialog for editing.
The Content area is created from a Partial view.
If I have the submit button inside the form in the Partial view it works. But I would like the Save button to be at the button of the Dialog and hence outside the form and Partial view.
The problem is now that the forms data doesn't get posted. How would you fix this?
I have two ideas:
1) Wrap the form outside the Partial view
2) Make a AJAX request and not use the helper, and collect the data from the form somehow? Doesn't feel like the right way.
Dialog:
<div id="myModal" class="modal" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">
<div class="modal-dialog">
<div class="modal-content">
<div class="modal-header">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close"><span aria-hidden="true">×</span></button>
<h4 class="modal-title" id="myModalLabel">Edit database connection</h4>
</div>
<div class="modal-body">
#{ Html.RenderPartial("View"); }
</div>
<div class="modal-footer">
<button id="saveBtnSettings" type="button" class="btn btn-primary">Save</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">Close</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Dialog javascript
var saveSettings = function () {
var url = buildUrl("Edit", "Setting");
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: url
})
.done(function (data, textStatus, jqXhr) {
alert('done' + data);
})
.fail(function (jqXhr, textStatus, errorThrown) {
alert(textStatus.toUpperCase() + ": " + errorThrown + 'Could not load html. ');
});
};
Partial view
#using (Ajax.BeginForm("Edit", "Setting", new AjaxOptions { UpdateTargetId = "div" }))
{
<fieldset>
#Html.AntiForgeryToken()
<div class="form-horizontal">
#Html.ValidationSummary(true, "", new { #class = "text-danger" })
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.User, htmlAttributes: new { #class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
#Html.EditorFor(model => model.User, new { htmlAttributes = new { #class = "form-control" } })
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.User, "", new { #class = "text-danger" })
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.DataSource, htmlAttributes: new { #class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
#Html.EditorFor(model => model.DataSource, new { htmlAttributes = new { #class = "form-control" } })
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.DataSource, "", new { #class = "text-danger" })
</div>
</div>
</div>
</fieldset>
}
Partial view - Works with button inside of the form
#using (Ajax.BeginForm("Edit", "Setting", new AjaxOptions { UpdateTargetId = "div" }))
{
<fieldset>
#Html.AntiForgeryToken()
<div class="form-horizontal">
#Html.ValidationSummary(true, "", new { #class = "text-danger" })

<div class="col-md-10">
#Html.EditorFor(model => model.User, new { htmlAttributes = new { #class = "form-control" } })
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.User, "", new { #class = "text-danger" })
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.DataSource, htmlAttributes: new { #class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
#Html.EditorFor(model => model.DataSource, new { htmlAttributes = new { #class = "form-control" } })
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.DataSource, "", new { #class = "text-danger" })
</div>
</div>
<p>
<input type="submit" value="Calculate" /> #* WORKS WITH BUTTON INSIDE OF FORM *#
</p>
</div>
</fieldset>
}
You can place a submit button outside the form tags by specifying the form attribute (HTML5 only)
<form .... id="editform">
....
</form>
<input type="submit" form="editform" />
Note if the submit button has a value attribute, it won't be posted back.
Another option may be to use css to position it.
Just submit the form using Javascript:
function SubmitMyForm(){
document.getElementById("myForm").submit();
}
HTML:
<input type="button" value="Calculate" onclick="SubmitMyForm()" />
I think you're looking for: document.myform.submit();
Here is a Fiddle adapted form of code from this page.
