[Solved] Submitting data from side and window

[Andre]

Hi.

we´ve got a problem with the window-control.
We have a view with a Form containing a Textbox "Name1".

The form contains a window with a Textbox "Name2" and a Button with JavaScript attached to submit the form.
The Window itself has no additional Form.

When Debugging the Action-method, the Textbox-Value for "Name2" in the window will not be submitted.
We need to submit both values.

The Code looks like this:

        @Using Html.BeginForm()
        
        @<input type="text" name="Name1" id"Name1" />
        @<button type="submit" Id="feedback-open-button" >Submit feedback!</button>
        
        Html.Telerik.Window.Name("Window") _
            .Title("Submit feedback") _
            .Content(Function(c)
            @<input type="text" name="Name2" id"Name2" />
            @<button id="LocationButton" class="t-button t-state-default">Submit feedback...</button>       
                         Return c
                     End Function) _
            .Width(400) _
            .Draggable(True) _
            .Modal(True) _
            .Visible(False) _
            .Render()

               

End Using

@code
    Dim script As String = String.Empty
    
    script &= "$('#feedback-open-button').click(" & vbCrLf
    script &= "function(e)" & vbCrLf
    script &= "{" & vbCrLf
    script &= "e.preventDefault(); " & vbCrLf
    script &= "$('#Window').data('tWindow').center().open(); " & vbCrLf
    script &= "}); " & vbCrLf

    
    script &= "$('#LocationButton').click(function(e) {" & vbCrLf
    script &= "  document.forms[0].submit(); " & vbCrLf
    script &= "$('#feedback-form').closest('.t-window').data('tWindow').close();" & vbCrLf
    script &= "});"
           
    Html.Telerik.ScriptRegistrar().OnDocumentReady(script)    
          
       
End Code

Hi Andre,

 The window detaches itself from the DOM once opened in order to appear on top of other HTML elements. This causes the input elements to no longer be inside the <form> element. Thus they are not posted. You need to put the form inside the window contents.
