MVC Multiple submit buttons on a array of objects
- by Kieron
Hi,
I've got a list of objects in an MVC view, each with a set of submit buttons - Move up, Move down and Remove.
Using the answer from this question, I can get the button clicked - but I need to know which item it would be operating on.
The problem comes from the fact the input's value attribute is passed back, I need more information than that - i.e. an id.
Below is a snippet of the contents of a for loop, rendering each item.
<ul>
<li><input type="submit" name="SubmitButton" value="Move-Up" class="linked-content-position-modifier" /></li>
<li><input type="submit" name="SubmitButton" value="Move-Down" class="linked-content-position-modifier" /></li>
<li><input type="submit" name="SubmitButton" value="Remove" class="linked-content-modifier" /></li>
<li><%= Model.Contents[i] %></li>
</ul>
When the form is posted back, I can see that the SubmitButton has a value of either Move-Up, Move-Down or Remove - but no idea which item in the array it's referring too.
Without changing the value to something really ugly, how would I tell which item it's referring to?
