Hi,
How can I pass a HTML element to a controller action. Let's say I have the following element:
<table id="list"></table>
How do I pass this table into the controller action? Also will it be automatically converted to HtmlTable object?

A:
You can only pass that as a string, it won't be converted to HtmlTable object.

Thanks! Also, I think the controller action cannot be generic type Foo<T> (not sure why!!) How can I pass a list to a controller method like List<Product>.

@OrbMan, Actually I thought that I can pass the HTML element to the controller and then export the element to excel. I can do the same if I can pass the List<T>.

You are not suppose to pass any UI elements from controller to view. If you can elaborate more of your scenerio maybe I can help

Actually I was trying to find a way to send the Table from View to the Controller and then Controller can forward it to the ExportToExcelService which will then export the Table. But I ended up just passing the list to the service and then bind the list with GridView control and then exporting the GridView control to Excel.
