I am currently trying to make an html submit occur, but using the MVC helper method ActionLink as I do not want it to be a button, I want it to be an underlined link like the rest on my page. This is what I have currently
<%= Html.ActionLink("Delete Selected", "DeleteCheckBox", "Domains", "Default.aspx", new { type="submit" }) %>
This jumps back to my action fine, but all the domains that are checked off to be deleted are not sent back. (if I use this, <input type="submit" name="DeleteAction" value="Delete" />
it works fine so I know it's not something wrong with submitting or retrieving the check boxes)
Here's what I have so far ...
<%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Views/Shared/Site.Master" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage>" %> <%@ Import Namespace="IProwlAdminUI.Helpers" %>
Index
<h2>Domain List</h2>
<h2 style="color: #FF0000"><%= Html.Encode(ViewData[IProwlAdminUI.Utils.Global.ExceptionMessageKey]) %></h2>
<h2 style="color: #FF0000"><%= Html.Encode(ViewData["Message"]) %></h2>
<% using (Html.BeginForm("DeleteCheckBox", "Domains"))
{ %>
<% if (ViewData.ContainsKey("DeleteMessage"))
{ %>
<h2 style="color: #FF0000"><%= Html.Encode(ViewData["DeleteMessage"]) %></h2>
<input type="submit" name="DeleteAction" value="Commit" /> <input type="reset" name="DeleteAction" value="Cancel" />
<% } %>
<p>
<%= Html.ActionLink("Create New", "Create") %>
| <%= Html.ActionLink("Export List", "Export") %>
| **<a href="javascript:void(0)" class="DeleteLink">Delete Selected</a>**
<% if (ViewData.ContainsKey("Path"))
{ %>

<% } %>

.Columns(columns =>
{
columns.Template(o =>
{ %>
<%= Html.ActionLink("Edit", "Edit", new { id = o.DomainId })%>
<%
