Button click not working in MVC3?

Question

Hi all here is my aspx page

          <body>
   <% Html.BeginForm("AssignWork", "Project", FormMethod.Post); %>
     <form action="AssignWork.aspx" method="post"></form>
<%:Html.ValidationSummary(true)%>
<div>

<div></div><div style="margin:62px 0 0 203px;"><a style="color:Orange;">Projects : </a><%:Html.DropDownList("Projects")%></div>
<fieldset style="color:Orange;">

    <legend>Employees</legend>
      <% foreach (var item in Model)
         { %>  
              <div>
              <%:Html.CheckBox("EmployeId",new { value=item.EmployeeName})%>
              <%:Html.LabelForModel(item.EmployeeName)%>
              </div>
      <%} %>          
       <p>

</p>       
</fieldset> 
<input type="button" value="Assign" name="Assign" />      
</div>
    <% Html.EndForm(); %>
 </body>

And here is my problem that when I click on Assign button its not going to my post method in my control. I am showing this page in a popup window. Can any one tell me where did I do wrong. Thank you.

Hope you have associated controller & action in place

Try a submit input instead of a button

<input type="submit" value="Assign" name="Assign" />

On top of this, you likely want your <form> to enclose all of your field elements, otherwise they will not post when you submit.

change the type of your button to 'submit' :)

You're not using Html.BeginForm() correctly. Instead of

<% Html.BeginForm("AssignWork", "Project", FormMethod.Post); %>
 <form action="AssignWork.aspx" method="post"></form>

try this:

<% using (Html.BeginForm("AssignWork", "Project", FormMethod.Post) { %>
    <!-- your form markup -->
<% } %>

You don't need to use a <form> tag since its rendered by Html.BeginForm(), and Html.EndForm() isn't necessary because of the using statement - the end tag is rendered at the end of the using control block.

And you probably also need to change the input type to submit.
