Input Submit Button - Html.buttonfor

I am a bit new to mvc razor and building websites (front and backend). The break down is, I need a button that has a value stored in it be sent to the controller/model. Something similar to html boxtextfor. I have tried giving boxtextfor attributes similar to an input submit button, but it doesn't like that. I have tested the button using javascript and it does have the value within each individual button (# of buttons are dynamic based on previous submit).
I have seen posts like this but I am unsure how to add these to my controller or model so my index page can call it. My model is linked to my index page so I guess I could link these methods in my model.
There's no #Html.Button !
(tried this, but it needs to be linked to my model. A simple button doesn't work.)
Looking for a Html.SubmitButton helper that would accept class attributes in MVC3
I currently don't have access to my code in question. The button needs to be an input submit to go to [HTTPPOST]. However, if you need any more information please let me know.
Thank you for your time,

I solved it by wrapping a button with the following. This creates binds each individual button with the given item from an array. Kind of acts like a buttonfor if you will.
Foreach item in array{
#using(Html.BeginForm(…)
{
<button class=input value=item>item</button>
}
}

Emit value on a search button depending on checkbox state, AngualrJS

My app has a Search Button, that hits an internal API with a GET Request. Then we fetch Data that are protected in some cases. I have a checkbox which is set to true by default to simulate the Back-End behavior.
If that box is unchecked then we add a parameter to our query GET Request protection: false. This tells the Back-End to give us access to unprotected Data.
My question is this. How to keep watch of the checkbox state in Angular Controller, and this change gets emitted to the search button?
I understand that I need to use $scope.watch for that, but AngularJS isn't my strong suit, so please help.
The protection parameter is passed as an Action from Redux, down to an RxJS Epic, to the Reducer and then injected to endpoint.js and service.js files that handle thoe requests.
That is done and working. My big problem is how to handle the angular part. Below you will find the code for the HTML and Controller files.
INDEX.HTML
<button class="btn btn-default btn-sm" ng-click="getData(something, protection)"
ng-disabled="Ctrl.loading">
Run Search
</button>
<span>Protection
<input type="checkbox" ng-model="Ctrl.Protection">
</span>
Controller.js
$scope.getData = (something, protection) => {
ctrl.getSomecData(protection, protection);
ctrl.saveRecentSearch(something);
};
So, one final go. I want to be able to check and uncheck the box, and that change should be emitted to the search button, and then inject that parameter in the GET Request.
Please help me do that in Angularjs. I haven't worked with it before this job, and it is really frustrating. Thanks for your time.

You just need to use ngChange directive of angular js on checkbox element.
method binded with ng-change attribute will called whenever checkbox is checked or unchecked.
further $watch is not recommended since it hits performance of the page.
Html:
<input type="checkbox" ng-model="Ctrl.Protection" ng-change="change()">
In your controller :
$scope.change = function() {
if(this.Protection){
//whatever you wish to do here
$scope.getData($scope.something, this.protection);
}
};

Setting a dynamic drop down value in JavaScript

I've been working on this issue for days and feel like I'm at a dead end so hoping someone can help out.
I have a form that's used to log calls. The form has two drop downs Reason and Resolution which are created using an array.
When a call is dropped for whatever reason I want the user to click a button called Lost Call and have it fill out the form with specific information.
It works for every field but the Resolution field. I can't get that one to populate.
The lost call button calls a function using onClick.
<Input type="button" value="Lost Call" onClick="LostCall()" />
All my code is HTML5 and JavaScript.
Here is my HTML code:
<select id="Reason"><option value=" "></option></select>
<select id="Resolution"><option value=" "></option></select>
The script I use to create the drop downs I got from here:
http://jsfiddle.net/bdhacker/eRv2W/
Other then changing the Variable names to suit my form and less options the code is the same.
The Question is how can I make it to where someone clicks lost call the form is filled out including the Reason and Resolution with specific values when the Resolution values are dynamically generated?
Here is the script for the Lost Call Button:
function LostCall() {
var Reason = document.getElementById("Reason");
Reason.Value = 'Misc/Other';
var Resolution = document.getElementById("Resolution");
Resolution.Value = 'Lost Call';
Using the above Reason is populated but not Resolution. Also note both Misc/Other and Lost Call are options available in the array I'm using.

EDIT: Updated fiddle.
Hmm, your code is working, as I've tried it in this quick fiddle
Are you simply missing a closing } or was that just a simple mistake when typing this question?

if the value you are assigning in the list of options, try this approach:
function LostCall() {
document.getElementById("Resolution").selectedIndex = "2";
}
check out the following resource (press the "try it yourself" button) : http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/prop_select_selectedindex.asp

Is ok to deactivate a user account using GET http verb?

Im stuck with a simple but tricky task that im developing on ASP.NET MVC 5 web app.
I have a UserManager view wich i need to add a button to deactivate the account of the current logged user. So i have two options:
1) Create a input tag an hold the click event making a post using ajax:
<input type="button" id="deleteUser" value="Delete Account"/>
<script>
$('#deleteUser').click(function() {
$.post("#Url.Action("DeleteUser")",function() {
window.href.location = "#Url.Action("Home","Site")";
} );
});
</script>
On controller:
[HttpPost]
[Authorize]
public ActionResult DeleteUser()
{
//return json
}
2) Create a href and make a GET pointing to the DeleteUser action.
IMO these two options are correct, but the right thing to do is delete a user using the DELETE Http Verb, right? Since HTML5 doesnt support it, how to deal with it? In the options above, i prefer to use a href, because i can make a feedback easily based on the logic that i have, and i dont need to make a script for it.

Insert javascript variable into a form on another page?

I am wondering if there's a good way to take a variable built in Javascript and then insert it into a form that's on another page.
My application is a survey: I've got it so that at the end of the survey, all the results are displayed so they can look over their answers. Now I want to have the user click a link and have the answers of the survey show up automatically in the body of the form where they'll then add their email and contact info and click "send."
Any ideas?
Knowing that this ISN'T possible is fine too...if not, what alternate methods might I accomplish the end result?

You can create a hidden field in first page and change that value from javascript variable. When you post that page it can be another page where you need to display in form element.
EDIT
If you need without form in first page you need to link with hyperlink like below.
<a href='#' onClick='OpenPage()'> Go To Result </a>
<script>
var val=20 ; // say this is the value you want to pass to second page
function OpenPage ()
{
window.location.href = "resultpage.php?param=" + val;
}
</script>
After you need to read that param in resultpage either with javascript through URL string or from server side (in PHP $_GET).
Hope it helps.
