I have a very simple controller and views for displaying and editing user profile data.
The problem is that the form will not post. I cannot see the problem...
Code as follows:
<%= Html.ValidationSummary("Edit was unsuccessful. Please correct the errors and try again.") %>
<% using (Html.BeginForm()) {%>
<div>
<fieldset>
<p>
<label for="Title">
Title:</label>
<%= Html.TextBox("Title", Model.Title) %>
<%= Html.ValidationMessage("Title", "*") %>
</p>
<p>
<label for="FirstName">
FirstName:</label>
<%= Html.TextBox("FirstName", Model.FirstName)%>
<%= Html.ValidationMessage("FirstName", "*") %>
</p>
<p>
<label for="LastName">
LastName:</label>
<%= Html.TextBox("LastName", Model.LastName)%>
<%= Html.ValidationMessage("LastName", "*") %>
</p>
</fieldset>
<fieldset>
<legend>Contact with the Encephalitis Society</legend>
<p>
<label for="Contactable">
Allow The Encephalitis Society to contact me (we will not contact you unless this
is checked):</label>
<%= Html.CheckBox("Contactable", Model.Contactable)%>
<%= Html.ValidationMessage("Contactable", "*") %>
</p>
<p>
<label for="SubscribeNewsletter">
I would like to receive e-newsl开发者_如何学编程etters:</label>
<%= Html.CheckBox("SubscribeNewsletter", Model.SubscribeNewsletter)%>
<%= Html.ValidationMessage("SubscribeNewsletter", "*") %>
</p>
<p>
<label for="wantMembershipInfoPackage">
I would like more information about becoming a member of the Encephalitis Society:</label>
<%= Html.CheckBox("wantMembershipInfoPackage", Model.IsMember)%>
<%= Html.ValidationMessage("wantMembershipInfoPackage", "*")%>
</p>
<p>
<label for="IsMember">
I am already a member of the Encephalitis Society:</label>
<%= Html.CheckBox("IsMember", Model.IsMember)%>
<%= Html.ValidationMessage("IsMember", "*") %>
</p>
<p>
<label for="wantToBeRegularDonor">
I would like to make a regular donation to the Encephalitis Society:</label>
<%= Html.CheckBox("wantToBeRegularDonor", Model.IsMember)%>
<%= Html.ValidationMessage("wantToBeRegularDonor", "*")%>
</p>
</fieldset>
<hr />
<%=Html.ActionLink("Cancel (Return to My Page)", "MyPage", "Members", null, new { @class = "LinkButton LeftButton" })%>
<input class="LinkButton RightButton" type="submit" value="Save" />
</div>
<% } %>
The controller is as follows:
public class ProfileController : Controller
{
WebProfile p = WebProfile.Current;
Member member = new Member();
// GET: Shows details of the Profile
public ViewResult Show()
{
ViewData["CategoryRole"] = member.CategoryRoleUserFriendly;
return View(p);
}
// GET: /Profile/New - displays a template to create the Profile
public ViewResult New()
{
ViewData["SaveButtonText"] = "Next >>";
return View(p);
}
// POST: /Profile/New
[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
public ActionResult New(FormCollection formValues)
{
try
{
WebProfile.GetProfile(member.UserName);
UpdateModel(p);
return RedirectToAction("MyPage", "Members");
}
catch
{
ViewData["SaveButtonText"] = "Next >>";
return View();
}
}
// GET: /Profile/Edit - displays a template to create the Profile
public ViewResult Edit()
{
ViewData["SaveButtonText"] = "Save >>";
return View(p);
}
// POST: /Profile/Edit - displays a template to create the Profile
[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
public ActionResult Edit(FormCollection formValues)
{
try
{
WebProfile.GetProfile(member.UserName);
UpdateModel(p);
return RedirectToAction("Show");
}
catch
{
return View();
}
}
}
}
Does anything leap out at you?
I have solved it and it is a such a tiny issue that I will detail it here:
The problem was a missing quote ("), as follows:
<p class="Note>PLEASE NOTE: All items below are Optional</p>
<%= Html.ValidationSummary("Edit was unsuccessful. Please correct the errors and try again.") %>
<% using (Html.BeginForm()) {%>
<div>
<fieldset>
...
Can you spot it? Don't worry, it took me a day:
<p class="Note>...
Should have been:
<p class="Note">
The missing quote before the <% using(Html.BeginForm()) %> was enough to scupper the form POST action. There were no errors, no change of code colouring. No visual indication. Nothing.
One to remember!:
When your form won't post, look for malformed html above the Html.BeginForm() line.
