I need to be able to have multiple so-called "create" forms in my view. I need advice as to how to go about achieving it. My form basically allows a user to create passenger details / book for several passengers depending on the number they have selected from a dropdownlist. Using javascript, more div's a displayed to cater to their selection, up to a maximum of 3. How would I go about creating these passengers on my model through a single submit button though? How would I collect these values? There are a total of 3 divs, and the more passenger details the user wants to book for, the more divs are shown.My view currently looks like so:
<h2>Booking</h2>
<div class="editor-label">
<%=Html.Label("Select number of passengers") %>
</div>
<div class="editor-field">
<%=Html.DropDownList("PassengerNumber", new List<SelectListItem>
{
new SelectListItem{Text="1", Value="1"},
new SelectListItem{Text="2", Value="2"},
new SelectListItem{Text="3", Value="3"}
})%>
</div>
<% using (Html.BeginForm()) {%>
<%= Html.ValidationSummary(true) %>
<fieldset>
<legend>Fields</legend>
<div id="div1">

Your code indicates that your model is a single instance - instead, you have to choose a model that is a collection of instances. So that your mark-up will be something like
<% for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++) { %>
<div id="div1">
<h2>Passenger Details <%: i %></h2>
<div class="editor-label">
<%= Html.LabelFor(model => model[i].flight_number) %>
</div>
...
ASP.NET MVC does support model binding to a list/collection.
See this blog post where author has explained in detail (along with demo project) how to edit a variable length list and provide a link to add one more item etc.
