Ajax.BeginForm with MVC is not going to my action
.net, ajax, asp.net, asp.net-mvc-4, jquery
Solution
Rename `String action` to a different name in your action signature. You'll have to rename your button names as well. With the code you have now the jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.js submit handler is trying to route to a button object instead of the correct string url route.
Problem
I'm having a problem with using an Ajax form in MVC. Out of no where I am getting the following error: POST http://localhost:50778/Evaluation/Setup/[object%20NodeList] 404 (Not Found) It seems to not be adding the action or calling any simple validation. On oter pages it seems to work. i have stripped everything down the the basics below and it still doesn't work. Any ideas? Edited: As a workaround i'm using jquery to submit the form but i really don't think i need to be doing that. ``` <div id="form-message"></div> @{Ajax.BeginForm("UpdateEvaluation", "Setup", new AjaxOptions { UpdateTargetId = "form-message", InsertionMode = InsertionMode.Replace}, new { @id = "evaluation-setup" });} @Html.HiddenFor(model => model.fk_baa) @Html.HiddenFor(model => model.lock_setup) <div class="form-actions"> <p><b>Note</b>: There is no spell check on this site. You may wish to create text in Word or another word processor and then copy-and-paste into the system. </p> <button name="action" type="submit" value="save" class="btn btn-primary">Save</button> <button id="apply-lock" name="action" type="submit" class="btn btn-success exempt" value="lock"><span class="ico fa"></span> Lock Setup</button> </div> @{Html.EndForm();} ``` Here is my action ``` [HttpPost] public ActionResult UpdateEvaluation(SetupEvaluationModel model, string action) { var valid = ModelState.IsValid; if (action.ToUpper().Equals("LOCK")) { return View("_Validation", model.Save(true)); } else { return View("_Validation", model.Save()); } } ```
