  calling controller method based on the button clicked.

  Apr 19, 2012 11:44 AM|LINK

  Hi ,

  I have this view.

  <div data-role="fieldcontain">
          @using (Ajax.BeginForm("SaveCheckbox", "GetQuestion", new { QuestionNo = Model.QuestionNo, PreviousQuestionNo = Model.PreviousQuestion }, new AjaxOptions { }, new { id = "myform_" + @Model.QuestionNo }))
          {
              @Html.AntiForgeryToken()
              <fieldset data-role="controlgroup" id="@(Model.QuestionNo)_fld">
                  <label class="select">@Model.QuestionText
                  </label>
                  <br />
                  @foreach (var item in Model.Options)
                  {
                      <input type="checkbox"  name="selectedObjects" id="@(Model.QuestionNo)_@(item.OptionNumber)_chk" value="@item.OptionNumber" class="custom"  />
                       
                      <label for="@(Model.QuestionNo)_@(item.OptionNumber)_chk">
                          @item.OptionText</label>
                  }
                  <br />
              </fieldset>
              <div class="ui-grid-a">
                  <div data-role="none" style="float: left;">
                      @if (@Model.IsFirst == false && @Model.ShowPrevousButton == true)
                      {
         
                          @*<a href='@Url.Action("GetBackQuestion", "GetQuestion", new { QuestionNo = Model.QuestionNo }, null)'>
                              @Model.BackButtonText</a>*@
                          <input type="submit"  id="@(Model.QuestionNo)_chk"  data-inline="true" value="@Model.BackButtonText"/>
                      }
                  </div>
                  <div data-role="none" style="float: right;">
                      <input type="submit"  id="@(Model.QuestionNo)_chk"  data-inline="true" onclick="return SaveCheckBoxNew(this);" value="@Model.SubmitButtonText"/>
                  </div>
              </div>
          }
      </div>

  previously I have hyperlink to call the GetBackQuestion Mehtod of GetQuestion Controller. Now i got a requirement to convert it into button. so if i add the button its calling the default form submit method of SaveCheckBox method.

  so how do i call the different methods based on clicked button.

  Thanks.

  Use an input button to make a redirect to your action:

  @*<input type="button" value='@Model.BackButtontext' onClick="location.href='@Url.Action("GetBackQuestion", "GetQuestion", new { QuestionNo = Model.QuestionNo }, null)'">*@

  create a hidden field on your page as follows

  @Html.Hidden("hdnWhichButton")

  Now handle the button clicks using JQuery click handler update the Hidden variable value (btn1/btn2) and in controller read the Hidden variable value. This value tells which button is clicked on the page i.e.,

  if(hdnWhichButton == "btn1")

   // button1 is clicked

  else

  //button2 is clicked
