Note: I've been using ASP.NET Webforms, so ViewState was my friend.
Note: Default.html and Default.cshtml are two different files/pages.
Basically, all I'm trying to do is take form values from a .html page, post them, and then go back to the original page without the values resetting.
Here's what I have so far:
My client-side script
<!-- Default.html -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Testing Stuff</title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="mainpage" action="Default.cshtml" method="post">
<div style="clear:both;" id="dbInput">
<label for="linedesc">Description:</label>
<input type="text" id="linedesc" name="linedesc" />
<br /><br />
<input id="fruits" name="options1" value="fruits" type="radio" />
<label for="fruits">Fruits</label>
<input id="candies" name="options1" value="candies" type="radio" />
<label for="candies">Candies</label>
<input id="snacks" name="options1" value="snacks" type="radio" />
<label for="snacks">Snacks</label>
<br /><br />
<label for="options2">Choose beverage:</label>
<select id="options2" name="options2">
<option value="Coca-Cola">Coca-Cola</option>
<option value="Sprite">Sprite</option>
<option value="Root Beer">Root Beer</option>
<option value="Orange Juice">Orange Juice</option>
</select>
<br /><br />
<input type="submit" id="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
And my server-side script
//Default.cshtml
@{
var linedesc = Request.Form["linedesc"];
var food = Request.Form["options1"];
var drinks = Request.Form["options2"];
// Go back to Default.html and keep values selected, ie. values don't reset
var blah = "hi";
}
All I want to do is simple, no bells, no whistles, postback and return. I'm just missing that last piece.
