MVC ASP.NET Url.Action in form action, passing it form data

Question

        <form action="@Url.Action("PokemonSteps", "PokemonView", new { id = Model.Id, steps = steps })">
            <input type="number" name="steps" min="1" max="@Model.userSteps">
            <input type="submit">
        </form>

This form is a number box from 1 to the amount of steps the user has. When they submit the number in the box, I want to pass it to @Url.Action as the steps in the steps = steps part.

How do I go about that (sorry for the really stupid question)

Solution 1

<form action="@Url.Action("PokemonSteps", "PokemonView")" method="post">
   <input type="hidden" name="id" value="@Model.Id">
   <input type="number" name="steps" min="1" max="@Model.userSteps">
   <input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

Please add Attribute method="post" and share your controller method signature also...

Solution 2

Try doing something like this:

@using (Html.BeginForm("PokemonSteps", "PokemonView", FormMethod.Post)){    
     @Html.TextBoxFor(m=> m.userSteps)
     <input type="submit" value="Submit" />
}

Hope this Helps!!
