MVC2.0 form Submit

The "HTML." methods in MVC are convienience methods that generate HTML code so you can always override them with your own HTML.

The limited amount of details make it difficult for me to understand why you would need to override the form post action.

Based on your question it looks like you may have a grid with multiple delete buttons. You can add an onclick event to your delete button that would look something like this:

onclick='window.location="/Details/Delete/<%= item.id %>"; return false;'

"item.id" would be the ID of the item being displayed on the grid line or any ID you want to pass back.

If you really want to alter the action and post the form you can use the following:

onclick='document.forms[0].action="/Details/Delete/<%= item.id %>"; document.forms[0].submit(); return false;'

Hi

the <% using (Html.BeginForm()) { %> has an overload method Html.BeginForm(string actionname, string controllerName, RouteValueDictionary routeValues).

So this code...

<br />
<% using (Html.BeginForm("myTestmethod", "myTestController", new { id = "123" }))<br />
       { %><br />

will generate this html markup....

<br />
<br />
<form action="/myTestController/myTestmethod/123" method="post"><br />
<br />

as you have asked passing the id. However you need to have a matching route for this..

so in your routes ..define any specific routes as well...

routes.MapRoute(
               "Default", // Route name
               "{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
               new { controller = "myTestController", action = "myTestmethod",  id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
           );

I hope this helps you
