I have a project in .Net Core with Razor Pages and I have the form bellow that contains some input fields and 2 submit buttons.
<form class="form-style" method="post" id="createForm">
<div class="form-group button-position col-md4">
<input type="submit" id="placeRequest" name="placeRequest" value="Place Request" class="btn btn-primary" />
</div>
<div class="form-group button-position col-md4">
<input type="submit" value="GetHour" asp-page-handler="Hour" class="btn btn-primary btn-style" formnovalidate />
</div>
</form>
I need to be able to click the first submit button (GetHour) and then click the second one (Placer Request)
In my Razor Page model I have
public async Task<IActionResult> OnPost()
{
//code that will be executed when the Place Request button is clicked
}
public async Task OnPostGetHour()
{
////code that will be executed when the Get Hour button is clicked
}
The problem is that I am not allowed to make the 2 submits. If I only do one of them, it works but the second one does nothing
Is there any way I could make both of the submits?
This is because once you click the first submit button, The page does a redirect and loads again.
This is the nature of form submission. If you want to click both the buttons. Change the button type from "submit" to "button".
Then create 2 click handlers and handle the form submitting using Ajax
<form class="form-style" method="post" id="createForm">
<div class="form-group button-position col-md4">
<input onclick="onBtn1Click()" type="button" id="placeRequest" name="placeRequest" value="Place Request" class="btn btn-primary" />
</div>
<div class="form-group button-position col-md4">
<input onclick="onBtn2Click()" type="button" value="GetHour" asp-page-handler="Hour" class="btn btn-primary btn-style" formnovalidate />
</div>
</form>
Then write 2 JavaScript functions
function onBtn1Click()
{
//Submit code via Ajax here
}
function onBtn2Click()
{
//Submit code via Ajax here
}

I am trying to introduce a dynamic search function in my project. I have created a search form in my view which submits on keyup but the issue that I'm not facing is that when the view reloads, the text box is no longer in focus and so the user needs to click back onto it which obviously isn't ideal.
My view is set up as follows:
<form id="searchForm" asp-action="Index" method="get">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-9">
<input type="text" id="fooSearch" name="searchString" value="#ViewData["currentFilter"]" class="form-control" />
</div>
<div class="col-3">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-6">
<input type="submit" value="Search" class="btn btn-outline-secondary form-control" />
</div>
<div class="col-6">
<a asp-action="Index" asp-route-recent="true" class="btn btn-outline-secondary form-control">Recent</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</form>
with the following JQuery script to submit on keyup
$(function () {
$('#fooSearch').keyup(function () {
$('#searchForm').submit();
});
});
</script>
Can anyone help me to retain focus on the search textbox when the DOM is loaded?
To give the focus back to the searchbar, you can use jQuery's focus(), e.g.:
$("#fooSearch").focus();
Now, where you place this depends on whether your form submit is synchronous (and makes the page reload) or asynchronous.
If the submit is asynchronous, then you can place this in your keyup event handler, right after the code that submits:
$('#fooSearch').keyup(function () {
$('#searchForm').submit();
$("#fooSearch").focus(); //focus back on the search bar
});
Otherwise, you will need to call focus() from an onload event:
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#fooSearch").focus();
});
In all cases, first load or reload (submit), the focus should be on the search textbox so I think that you can just focus the textbox on load.
$(function() { $("#fooSearch").focus();});
The problem you may encouter is that the cursor will not be in the end of the keywords. So I think that the best option here is to use Ajax to the update the results each time the user change the keywords. Maybe waiting a few seconds before each update is a good idea also.
If you are using html5 you can just add autofocus to your html tag something like:
<input type="text" id="fooSearch" autofocus ="autofocus" name="searchString" value="#ViewData["currentFilter"]" class="form-control" />
I have 1 form and 2 buttons, one within a form, one out side of a form on a page:
<form method="post">
<button asp-page-handler="AddRecord" id="addRecordBtn" class="btn btn-sm
btn-secondary" type="submit">Add Record</button>
</form>
<button asp-page-handler="EmailData" id="emailData" class="btn btn-sm btn-secondary data-btn">Email Data</button>
I've also created some custom validation. When I click the EmailData button, the custom validation fires and returns null as there's no form data. Both are POST.
How do I prevent this from happening? I can't seem to find an up to date answer for .NET Core.
Thanks
Add onsubmit:
<form method="post" onsubmit="return false">
<button asp-page-handler="AddRecord" id="addRecordBtn" class="btn btn-sm
btn-secondary" type="submit">Add Record</button>
</form>
return false will prevent form action
I'm on ASP.NET and I want to navigate to another view when clicking on a button on the HTML page.
<input type="button" value="Back" class="btn btn-default" />
That's my button and I want to make a:
return View();
Your button needs to post back some data?
As the most basic response for your question is :
<input type="button" value="Back" class="btn btn-default" onclick='window.location.href = #Url.Action("action","controller")' />
Which will redirect your page to your action.
I am trying to call an action from the controller using onclick method. For some reason it's not returning action I want, it's always jumping to public ActionResult Index() by default.
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-offset-2 col-md-10">
<input type="submit" value="Register" class="btn btn-default" onclick="location.href='#Url.Action("RegisterIndex", "Register")'"/>
</div>
</div>
NOTE
I have created view automatically with a model. It's validating input for me by using already generated javascripts. If I change input tag to button it's not gonna do the required validation.
window.location.href does a GET request, that's why it didn't pass your input values to the server.
When you have <input type="submit"> inside a form, clicking it will submit the form with all data you need. I think this is what you want, but you just want it to submit to another action.
To achieve this, I suggest this solution:
Create a hidden field in the form. Its data will be sent to the server.
In your server, base on that hidden value, you can redirect to the appropriate action
Please feel free to ask me if you find anything unclear :)
The <input type="submit">, when inside a form element, will submit the form when clicked unless you return false or event.preventDefault();
returning false will prevent the default behavior for your submit.
EDIT
window.location.href will cause a GET request so your data will not be posted using this method.
HTML
#using (Html.BeginForm())
{
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-offset-2 col-md-10">
<input type="submit" id="btnSubmit" value="Register" class="btn btn-default"/>
</div>
</div>
}
Javascript
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#btnSubmit").click(function () { window.location.href = '#Url.Action("RegisterIndex", "Register")'; return false; });
});
</script>
In my main layout (root), I added search tools (a textbox and a button) to find the products.
_Layout.cs
<form action="#Url.Action("SearchProduct", "Product")" id="frmSearchProduct" method="get" class="form-inline text-right">
<input type="text" name="ProductName" placeholder="Enter Product Name" class="form-control" />
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary"><i class="glyphicon glyphicon-search"></i></button>
</form>
The search function works properly, but if I opened page in Areas and clicked the button, it doesn't work. The form action (url) is changed depend on the Areas.
http://localhost:49458/Error/NotFound?aspxerrorpath=/Workflow/Product/SearchProduct
There is no ProductController in Workflow Areas, so that it generates the error. How to solve this?
try with
#Url.Action("SearchProduct", "Product", new { area = string.Empty })
