Can someone explain to me why this is not working? I read a lot of posts about several submit buttons on the same page, but I don’t understand what is happening in the background. I tried to keep track of what I see others doing in these posts, but none of this works. I'm just trying to figure out what's going on here. I suspect this has something to do with what exactly happens when the page is published.
Both buttons do a completely different thing. First buttonpublishes a form. In the zip code of the form, it is then redirected to Vehicle / Index . Second buttondoes not publish the form and goes directly to / Vehicle / CreateNewVehiclePart .
Here is what I want. I want both buttons to submit a form (so that I can perform a check and save the changes to the Vehicle before moving on). After saving the vehicle data, I want to go to / Vehicle / AddPartsToVehicle or / Vehicle / CreateNewVehiclePart based on clicking on this button.
<table class="layouttable">
<tr>
<td>
@using (Html.BeginForm("AddPartsToVehicle", "Vehicle", FormMethod.Post, null))
{
<input type="submit" value="Add Parts To Vehicle" />
}
</td>
<td>
@using (Html.BeginForm("CreateNewVehiclePart", "Vehicle", FormMethod.Post, null))
{
<input type="submit" value="Create New Vehicle Part" />
}
</td>
</tr>
</table>
