I have a ASP.NET MVC view with a checkbox in a form. Is there a way to change the checkbox value when the submit button is clicked?
I have a form with two text inputs and a checkbox. I have two submit buttons, when submit 1 is clicked I just want to submit the form as it is. But, when submit 2 is click I want to automatically set the checkbox checked and then post the form to the controller.
Is there a way to do this? In the view or with javascript?
there is two way to solve this. first you can set event on click on the second button
<input name="submit" type="submit" id="JustSubmit"/>
<input name="submit" type="submit" onclick="checkedCheckbox()" id="SubmitWithCheckbox"/>
on the javascript
function checkedCheckbox()
{
$('#myCheckbox').prop('checked', true);
}
Second one by using server side. you can name both of your submit button to validate and change the value the checkbox based on which the submit button is pressed.
<input name="submit" type="submit" id="submit" value="Save" />
<input name="submit" type="submit" id="process" value="Process" />
and in the controller you can validate which submit button you check
public ActionResult Index(Class Model, string submit)
{
if(submit == "process")
{
Model.Checked = true;
}
//if not...
return View();
}
It is hard to understand what are you trying to achieve without looking at your code or example in JSFiddle.
but if i understand you right you can try something like this
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#submit2").on("click", function() {
$("#checkbox").attr("checked", true);
// HERE YOU CAN DO SOME OTHER CODE TO SUBMIT FORM
});
});
