I have created a Webpage which will post as "post" method..not as "get" method.
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<FORM action="RetrieveData_Post.asp" id=form1 method=post name=form1>
First Name:
<br>
<INPUT id="txtFirstName" name="txtFirstName" >
<br>
Last Name:
<br>
<INPUT id="txtLastName" name="txtLastName" >
<br>
<INPUT type="submit" value="Submit">
</FORM>
</body>
</html>
i want to retieve the values in the textboxes in the code behind of another form. Please help me.
You can access the form fields of a request in the HttpContext:
HttpContext.Current.Request.Form
or, to cover cookies, form, query string and server variables use either the Item or Params collection of the HttpRequest instance.
(In code behind, the Page base type has a Request property to avoid going via HttpContext.)
Change action="RetrieveData_Post.asp" to action="RetrieveData_Post.aspx" create the aspx page and use
HttpContext.Current.Request.Form
for retrive values.

For my application, i want to have a hidden iframe with a form inside, which has some input fields. The value to the fields will be added based on the response i get from backend and then submit the form. The problem is on the browser the content inside iframe is commented out like below

I have a search box on my site.
The controller looks like this:
[HttpPost]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public ActionResult SearchResults(SearchModel model)
{
View:
<div class="siteSearch clearfix" role="search">
<form id="HeaderSearchForm">
#Html.AntiForgeryToken()
<label for="tbSiteSearch">Search:</label>
<input type="text" id="tbSiteSearch" name="tbSiteSearch" class="text" />
<button type="submit" class="btn submit">
<i class="icon-search"></i>
</button>
</form>
</div>
So when I do a search, I can see the hidden label with the Anti Forgery Token present. This all works as expected because if I take a blank html page, copy the form code and leave the '__RequestVerificationToken' blank, I get told that the token hasn't been set and the search doesn't run. Which is what I would expect.
The issue I have is if I submit a search, copy the token from my site and place it in to my blank html page e.g.
<html>
<body>
<script>history.pushState('', '', '/')</script>
<form action="https://www.adomainname.co.uk/Search/SearchResults/" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="SearchTerm" value="testing" />
<input type="hidden" name="__RequestVerificationToken" value="theverificationtokengoeshere" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit request" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
The request is submitted - even if I am running the above code on localhost. I would have expected the form to not submit as it was coming from a different domain. Am I misunderstanding how this should work?
If I refresh the page and resubmit Im obviously allocated a new AFT and so the submit fails again but this doesn't feel right.
Ideally I would prefer the form action to only run on the domain it's on and not be able to execute the action from another site. I thought using AntiForgeryToken prevent Cross-Site Request Forgery.
If any of this is unclear, please let me know and I'll explain more.
I am building a website with WebMatrix. I would like users to enter their name in the main page and after redirection their name will be shown in the results of another form. But my code is not working.
This is a snippet of the main page:
#{
if (IsPost) {
PageData["fullname"] = String.Format("{0} {1}", Request.Form["mainForename"], Request.Form["mainSurname"]);
PageData["redir"] = Request.Form["goTo"];
}
}
<form name="mainForm" id="mainForm" method="post" action="foo.cshtml" onsubmit="return mainValid(this);">
<h2>Please enter your name:</h2>
<label for="mainForename" class="label">Forename:</label>
<input type="text" name="mainForename" id="mainForename">
<label for="mainSurname" class="label">Surname:</label>
<input type="text" name="mainSurname" id="mainSurname">
<input type="submit" name="goTo" value="Go to Form 1">
<input type="submit" name="goTo" value="Go to Form 2">
</form>
This is a snippet of the page that the main page directs to:
#{
if (IsPost) {
var display = PageData["fullname"];
}
}
<form name="form1" id="form1" method="post" onsubmit="return Valid(this);">
<!-- some HTML code -->
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Get results">
<p>#Html.Raw(display)</p>
</form>
But whatever value I have submitted in the mainForm, PageData["fullname"] and PageData["redir"] seem to have no values. What is the problem?
Any help would be appreciated.
I think PageData is only useful when combining subpages into a single page.
Instead, try the Session object where you are using PageData. Session will be available for all that user's pages.
So where you have PageData["fullname"] use Session["fullname"]

I find something that's not quite good in your code:
Why your form action is set to a cshtml file? It has to be an action in a controler;
Why are you using "hardcoded" form tag? Use #using(#Html.BeginForm('name', 'action', 'controller'...)
Why do you need WebMatrix? 1st - its pretty old, 2nd it for grids - you have a form.
Use a model, and use #Html.TextBoxFor(x=>x.UserName) inside the #Html.BeginForm.
Then post the form in the action you are posting to redirect to another page that contains the 2nd Form, and have a model. The post action should look somehow like this
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult RedirectToAnotherForm(MyModel model)
{
return View('SecondFormView', new SecondFormModel{
userName = model.name
})
}
I have an HTML file
<HTML>
<BODY>
<FORM name="form1" method="post">
<INPUT type = FILE name="image" action = http://localhost:61189/api/Utility" REQUIRED/>
<INPUT type = SUBMIT />
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>
When Submitted it triggers the POST function of the APIController.
I want to get the image data to work on. Where in the Request can i get the image data ?
Well i found a way of entering data into HTML request using multi-part form request.
And C# provides good api to deal with such data.
FINAL EDIT:
After following the answer from Darin Dimitrov, I have found that the problem ended up being that the AJAX call to the Controller's method UpdateForm() was returning an empty string. This was a modification that I found necessary some time ago after experiencing a different problem. Passing an empty string was causing Firefox's parser to choke (while Chrome and IE didn't care, apparently) so I replaced the empty string with an empty div.
Edit:
Thanks to Darin Dimitrov's suggestions below, I have found that the reason I was having trouble is due to an error being thrown whenever the form in question is being submitted.
The error reads "Node cannot be inserted at the specified point in the heirarchy". This is thrown each and every time the form is submitted. I noticed in the POST data that it seems to think this is an XMLHttpRequest. Is that the cause (the AJAX request in question is just returning HTML)? Here is the POST data from Firebug:
This error reads "XML Parsing Error -- No Element Found".
FYI - the HTML being returned is always an empty string...
I have an MVC3 application running on IIS7. In one of my views, I have a form being built using a Microsoft HTML helper function:
#using (Ajax.BeginForm("UpdateForm", new AjaxOptions { UpdateTargetId = "TargetDiv", InsertionMode = InsertionMode.InsertAfter, OnSuccess = "ClearTextBox" }))
{
#Html.TextArea("txtInput", new { id = "txtInput", cols = "20", rows = "5", wrap = "virtual" })
<input id="send" class="button" type="submit" value="Send"/><br />
}
This generates the following HTML when the Controller provides this view:
<form action="/RootName/ControllerName/UpdateForm" data-ajax="true" data-ajax-mode="after" data-ajax-success="ClearTextBox" data-ajax-update="#TargetDiv" id="form0" method="post">
<textarea cols="20" id="txtInput" name="txtInput" rows="5" wrap="virtual"></textarea>
<input id="send" class="button" type="submit" value="Send"><br>
</form>
What I'm basically trying to do here is take the text inside the TextArea called txtInput and append it to the end of the Div called TargetDiv whenever the Send button above is clicked and clear out the text from txtInput after the appending is complete by means of the ClearTextBox() method (Javascript). The append always works in every browser; and when I run in Internet Explorer or Chrome, the clearing of the text works just fine. However, Firefox doesn't seem to want to call the ClearTextBox() method.
Is Firefox not compatible with this data-ajax-success option in the form signature?
Things I've Tried
I found this guy:
Ajax.BeginForm doesn't call onSuccess
The solution is to add this script:
<script src="#Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
I am calling this script:
<script src="#Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
...but I tried swapping it out just in case. No joy.
I was asked to try changing the method call to include parentheses by some folks in the C# chat room so that the HTML came out like this:
<form action="/WebChat/TMWC/UpdateForm" data-ajax="true" data-ajax-mode="after" data-ajax-success="ClearTextBox()" data-ajax-update="#chatText" id="form0" method="post">
<textarea cols="20" id="txtInput" name="txtInput" rows="5" wrap="virtual"></textarea>
<input id="send" class="button" type="submit" value="Send"><br>
</form>
But that didn't help.
The folks in C# Chat also suggested I replace the Javascript call with an alert - something like this:
<form action="/WebChat/TMWC/UpdateForm" data-ajax="true" data-ajax-mode="after" data-ajax-success="alert('yo!')" data-ajax-update="#chatText" id="form0" method="post">
<textarea cols="20" id="txtInput" name="txtInput" rows="5" wrap="virtual"></textarea>
<input id="send" class="button" type="submit" value="Send"><br>
</form>
While Chrome pops the message box, Firefox does not!
Status no repro in a newly created ASP.NET MVC 3 application.
Controller:
public class HomeController : Controller
{
public ActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult UpdateForm()
{
return Content(DateTime.Now.ToLongTimeString());
}
}
View (~/Views/Home/Index.cshtml):
<script src="#Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function ClearTextBox() {
$('textarea').val('');
}
</script>
<form action="/Home/UpdateForm" data-ajax="true" data-ajax-mode="after" data-ajax-success="ClearTextBox" data-ajax-update="#TargetDiv" id="form0" method="post">
<textarea cols="20" id="txtInput" name="txtInput" rows="5" wrap="virtual"></textarea>
<input id="send" class="button" type="submit" value="Send"><br>
</form>
<div id="TargetDiv"></div>
Works perfectly fine in Chrome, FF and IE.
Also you might want to ensure that the Content-Type response HTTP header matches the actual response that you are sending. For example I have seen so many people send the application/json response header with some invalid JSON in the response body which produces the more sensitive parsers to choke.
