How do you handle multiple submit buttons in ASP.NET MVC Framework?

Question

Is there some easy way to handle multiple submit buttons from the same form? For example:

<% Html.BeginForm(\"MyAction\", \"MyController\", FormMethod.Pos         


        

Answer 1

This script allows to specify a data-form-action attribute which will work as the HTML5 formaction attribute in all browsers (in an unobtrusive way):

$(document).on('click', '[type="submit"][data-form-action]', function(event) {
    var $this = $(this),
    var formAction = $this.attr('data-form-action'),
    $form = $($this.closest('form'));
    $form.attr('action', formAction);             
});

The form containing the button will be posted to the URL specified in the data-form-action attribute:

Submit   

This requires jQuery 1.7. For previous versions you should use live() instead of on().
