I have a simple user registration form, with two fields, one for username and another for the password. I have a controller called UserController
which has thes
You could use $.ajax to submit the form with the correct verb
Here is an example
Since no one really answered it here, I'll add my .02
MVC adds the following field to the html form (used for example when using Html.BeginForm()) to support this. Even though HttpPut and HttpDelete are not actually supported for Html5 (they were at one point and then removed from the draft specification), the server libs for MVC will properly route the request to your HttpDelete or HttpPut method when the following form field is posted with your HttpPost request:
@using (Html.BeginForm("SomeAction"){
@Html.HttpMethodOverride(HttpVerbs.Delete)
}
HTML forms (up to HTML version 4 and XHTML 1) only support GET and POST as HTTP request methods. XHTML 2.0 will support GET, POST, PUT and DELETE for forms.
A workaround for this for methods through POST by using a hidden form field which is read by the server and dispatch accordingly.
For now, you may consider using [HttpPost]
now or use XmlHttpRequest
to use Put
verb on your request.
You may use SimplyRestfulRouteHandler
from MvcContrib
It quite simple, register this on RegisterRoutes
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
SimplyRestfulRouteHandler.BuildRoutes(routes);
}
Add a hidden
field like this with name _method
inside your form
<input type="hidden" name="_method" value="put" />
This would be good to go.
