I am using the summernote plugin for text box: http://summernote.org/#/getting-started#basic-api
This is the form I have using summmernote:
I found my solution to the problem. This is how I am making the controller get the correct information:
@using (Html.BeginForm())
{
@Html.ValidationSummary(true)
}
Basically, if I use a textarea with a name instead of an input or anything else, it works!
However, and be warned, even though this solution works, I then get a error in the controller saying:
A potentially dangerous Request.Form value was detected from the client
This happens because I am allowing HTML. But this is a problem for another question!
