Re: Basic MVC4 question on Form Post
I'd also suggest to go straight to T4MVC for some strongly typed goodness :)

Thanks guys. I was suspecting that’s roughly what’s needed. I had just
found that I could name a form, similarly to what you had mentioned so that
was a good start.
I’ll try the script.

Add an id to your BeginForm statement, in case you have a second form to
the page (there’s usually a separate form tag for logout button, if I
recall correctly.)
using (Html.BeginForm(foo, bar, FormMethod.Post, new { id = myID }))
You need to add a click handler to the span containing the text and then
perform a form submit there, referencing the id tag.
You can add the click handler in the document.ready.
$(document).ready(function () {
$('body').on('click', '#mySpanId', function () {
$(form#myID).submit();
});
This is off the top of my head and is only one possible solution. You
might need to check the syntax.

Hi Folks,
I’m still getting my head around MVC4 bit by bit. A quick question if I
can:
If I have a form declared:
@using (Html.BeginForm(SomeAction, SomeController”, FormMethod.Post))
{
}
I would normally just post it by using an input button set to submit.
However, if I don’t want to use a button but want to make the form post
when someone clicks on some text in a div contained in the form, how do you
do that? Do you have to make an onclick for the div execute some java to
post the form? If so, how would you select the form using jQuery in this
case? (If I code forms myself, I can give them a name but this Html helper
doesn’t seem to have a name).
Thanks! (I’ll be back to databases where I know what I’m doing soon J)

Re: Basic MVC4 question on Form Post
I’m guessing, something like will get you close.
$('div').click(
$('form[action=SomeAction]').submit()
)
I hope the action is unique enough I don’t know how mvc renders them now..
