I have the following codes and the test value is always null in the controller after the post. What is wrong with the following code:
Model:
public class Suitcase
{
public string Color { get; set; }
public string[] Size { get; set; }
public List<string> Clothes { get; set; }
public List<Test> test { get; set; }
}
public class Test
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public int ID { get; set; }
}
The view:
<fieldset>
<legend>All about my baggage</legend>
<div class="editor-label">
<%: Html.LabelFor(model => model.Color) %>
</div>
<div class="editor-field">
<%: Html.TextBoxFor(model => model.Color) %>
</div>
<br />
<div class="editor-label">
Width, Height, Depth:
</div>
<div class="editor-field">
ml.TextBoxFor(model => model.Depth, new { style = "width:50px;" })%>
</div>
<br />
<div class="editor-label">Suitcase Contents</div>
<div class="editor-field">
<div id="clothes-editor">
Clothing Item: <input type="
text" id="new-clothes-item" style="width:150px" /> <button id="add-clothes">Add to suitcase</button>
</div>
<b>Items currently in suitcase:</b>
<ul id="clothes-list">

<p>
<button id="pack-it">Put on Baggage Carosel</button>

</fieldset>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">

// pack the suitcase up and send it to the baggage carosel...erm...controller
$("#pack-it").click(function () {
