  Two Submit button on one view

  Mar 05, 2010 10:36 AM|LINK

  Hi All,

  I have a view which contain two buttons. I want to call two separate action methods (Using Post ) for these two buttons.

  Like when button1 pressed then below action method must be called.
  

           [HttpPost]
          public ActionResult Find(Event.SearchArguments searchArguments)
          {

          }

  
  

        and on clicking of button2

         [HttpPost]
          public ActionResult Save(Event.SearchArguments searchArguments)
          {

          }

  
  

  How to achieve this.Plz Share your suggestion on this.

  
  

  <input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden">

  <div id="refHTML"></div>

  Hi there,

  Ideally you'll have to provide 2 forms with these 2 buttons,with a form action pointing to one of those methods in your controller.
  

  For example on your view you might have something like:
  

  <form method="post" action="/mycontroller/find">

  <!-- some html markup here -->

  <input type="submit" name="button1" id="button1" value="Search" />

  </form>

  <form method="post" action="/mycontroller/save">

   <!-- some html markup here -->

   <input type="submit" name="button2" id="button2" value="Save" />
  

  </form>

  
  

  If that's not what you require, let me know.

  Hope this helps.

  put a form with default action to Find
  

  for one button use the usual submit

  for second button change the action of the form and submit with jquery
  

  function submitForm()
  {
      var url = $("#idform").attr("action");
      $("#idform").attr("action",'<% = Url.Action("Save") %>');
      $("#idform").submit();
  
  }

  Thanks For reply.
  

  Your solution is correct But in my case i can have only one form so what  can be the solution for my problem.
  

  <input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden">

  <div id="refHTML"></div>

  Would it work with validationGroup property? Or is this a webform thing?
