I am rendering a form in Asp.net MVC with a submit button. The page redirects after successful record addition into the database. Following is the code :-
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Create(BrandPicView brandPic)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(brandPic.Picture.PictureUrl))
{
Picture picture = new Picture();
picture.PictureUrl = brandPic.Picture.PictureUrl;
db.Pictures.Add(picture);
brandPic.Brand.PictureId = picture.Id;
}
db.Brands.Add(brandPic.Brand);
db.SaveChanges();
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
return View();
}
But, while testing, I saw that if the form is clicked again and again, the multiple entries are submitted and saved into the database.
How can i make sure that if the form has been submitted once to the server, then no duplicates are submitted.
I don't think this is quite a duplicate of the answer referenced in the comment, since the link is for spring MVC, and this question is for .NET MVC.
I actually spent a few hours on this a while back, and came up with the following. This javascript hooks nicely with the unobtrusive jquery validation, and you can apply it to any form that has <input type="submit". Note that it uses jquery 1.7's on function:
$(document).on('invalid-form.validate', 'form', function () {
var button = $(this).find(':submit');
setTimeout(function () {
button.removeAttr('disabled');
}, 1);
});
$(document).on('submit', 'form', function () {
var button = $(this).find(':submit');
setTimeout(function () {
button.attr('disabled', 'disabled');
}, 0);
});
The setTimeouts are needed. Otherwise, you could end up with a button that is disabled after clicked even when client-side validation fails. We have this in a global javascript file so that it is automatically applied to all of our forms.
Update 16 Nov 2020 by #seagull :
Replaced selector input[type="submit"] with :submit so it will work with <button type="submit" /> as well
The solution for mvc applications with mvc client side validation should be:
$('form').submit(function () {
if ($(this).valid()) {
$(':submit', this).attr('disabled', 'disabled');
}
});
Disable the button on Submit clicked. This can be done using JQuery/Java Script.
Look at this example on how to do this.
You can use this one. It includes unobtrusive jQuery validation.
$(document).on('submit', 'form', function () {
var buttons = $(this).find('[type="submit"]');
if ($(this).valid()) {
buttons.each(function (btn) {
$(buttons[btn]).prop('disabled', true);
});
} else {
buttons.each(function (btn) {
$(buttons[btn]).prop('disabled', false);
});
} });
For jQuery validation please incllude
~/Scripts/jquery.validate.min.js
~/Scripts/jquery.validate.unobtrusive.min.js
You can use ajax.BeginForm insted of html.BeginForm to achieve this, if you use OnSuccess insted of OnBegin you can be sure that your method execute successful and after that your button turn to deactivate,with ajax you stay
in current view and you can update your current view instead of redirection
#using (Ajax.BeginForm(
new AjaxOptions
{
HttpMethod = "post",
InsertionMode = InsertionMode.Replace,
UpdateTargetId = "dive",
OnBegin="deactive"
}))
{
//body of your form same as Html.BeginForm
<input type="submit" id="Submit" value="Submit" />
}
and use this jquery in your form:
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript"> function deactive() { $("#Submit").attr("disabled", true); }</script>
be careful for using ajax you have to call this scrip in the end of your page
<script src="~/Scripts/jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.js"></script>
Disabling the button is fine via JavaScript but what if the user has it disabled or they bypass it? If you use client side security then back it up with server side. I would use the PRG pattern here.
window.onload = function () {
$("#formId").submit(function() {// prevent the submit button to be pressed twice
$(this).find('#submitBtnId').attr('disabled', true);
$(this).find('#submitBtnId').text('Sending, please wait');
});
}

In ASP.Net MVC 3.0 i am using a Ajax.Beginform
and hitting a JsonResult
on success of the form i am calling a jQuery Function.
but for some reason my form is redirecting to JsonAction
my View
#using (Ajax.BeginForm("ActionName", "Controller", null, new AjaxOptions
{
HttpMethod = "POST",
OnSuccess = "ShowResult"
}, new { id = "myform" }))
{
// All form Fields
<input type="submit" value="Continue" class="button standard" />
}
My controller
public JsonResult ActionName(FormCollection collection)
{
return Json(new { _status },JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
jQuery
<script type="text/javascript">
function ShowResult(data) {
// alert("I am at ShowResult");
if (data.isRedirect) {
window.location.href = json.redirectUrl;
}
}
for some reason, when i click submit.
it runs the JSonResult and redirects the page to host/controller/actionname
I have included my
<script src="#Url.Content("jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.min.js")"></script>
in my layout.cshtml
can any one tell me what could be wrong?
I found the problem. Now i have to find the solution
on submit
I am validating my form
$("#myform").validate({
submitHandler: function (form) {
// my logic goes here....
}});
If i exclude the validation Ajax form works as expected.
But if i validate my form then ajax form is not working as expected
Thanks
when this happens its almost always because your script files aren't loaded
note from:
http://completedevelopment.blogspot.com/2011/02/unobstrusive-javascript-in-mvc-3-helps.html
Set the mentioned flag in the web.config:
Include a reference to the jQuery library ~/Scripts/jquery-1.4.4.js
Include a reference to the library that hooks this magic at ~/Scripts/jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.js
So load up fiddler http://fiddler2.com and see if the scripts are being called and loaded.
Is there anyway to submit a form but have it remain on the page?
Right now I'm displaying a table of objects, but each row has an editable value with each row in its own Ajax form but when I click the update button it goes to the method alright but the whole page changes.
Is there anyway to submit a form but have it remain on the page?
Of course, you could use AJAX:
#using (Html.BeginForm())
{
... some form input fields
<input type="submit" value="Go" />
}
and then unobtrusively AJAXify this form in a separate file:
$(function() {
$('form').submit(function() {
$.ajax({
url: this.action,
type: this.method,
data: $(this).serialize(),
success: function(result) {
// TODO: handle the results of the AJAX call
}
});
return false;
});
});
and to avoid writing all this javascript code you may take a look at the excellent jquery.form plugin:
$(function() {
$('form').ajaxForm(function(result) {
// TODO: handle the results of the AJAX call
});
});
Another alternative is to use the ASP.NET MVC 3 Ajax.BeginForm helper:
#using (Ajax.BeginForm(new AjaxOptions { OnSuccess = "success" }))
{
... some form input fields
<input type="submit" value="Go" />
}
and then have a success handler in javascript:
function success(result) {
// TODO: handle the results of the AJAX call
}
you will also need to include the jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.js script in addition to jquery to your page if you want to use the Ajax.* helpers.
I work on an MVC 3 application. My cshtml page looks like this:
#Ajax.BeginForm("Filter", new AjaxOptions() { UpdateTargetId = "div_GridPlaceholder")
{
...some HTML
<input id="btn_Filter" type='submit' ... />
}
<div id="div_GridPlaceholder">...</div>
The Filter ( ) action method marked with the Authorize attribute returns some string at the moment. Everything works fine but when the forms authentication ticket expires and I hit the btn_Filter button, my Login page gets rendered in the div_GridPlaceholder which is pretty strange. I would like to have the see the Login page rendered on the whole page instead of inside that div.
Any help is appreciated.
In your Logon action you could append a custom response HTTP header:
public ActionResult LogOn()
{
Response.AppendHeader("X-LOGON", "true");
return View();
}
and then subscribe for the complete event and test for the presence of this header and act accordingly:
$(function () {
$('#div_GridPlaceholder').ajaxComplete(function (event, XMLHttpRequest, ajaxOptions) {
if (XMLHttpRequest.getResponseHeader('X-LOGON') == 'true') {
window.location.href = '#Url.Action("LogOn", "Account")';
}
});
});
How can I prevent the user from double clicking submit button on my signup form which is an ajax partial view?
I regret to ask since this would have already been asked. I just can't find a clear working answer now matter where I search. Disabling the button prevent submit. Using a var javascript clickcount+alert+return_false does not reset.
Environment: asp.net mvc3
View:
Form displays onload: #RenderPage("_SignupForm.cshtml")
Submission using:
#using (Ajax.BeginForm("Index", "Signup", null,
new AjaxOptions
{
UpdateTargetId = "signupForm",
InsertionMode = InsertionMode.Replace,
HttpMethod = "POST",
LoadingElementId="progress"
}
))
Submit control: <input type="submit" value="Sign up" />
SignupController :
public ActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Index(SignupModel formvalues)
{
Thread.Sleep(5000);
string errors = "";
if (TryValidateModel(formvalues))
{
errors = SignupAPI.Signup(formvalues); //includes custom validation
}
if (ModelState.IsValid == false || string.IsNullOrEmpty(errors) == false)
{
ViewBag.Errors = errors;
return PartialView("_SignupForm", formvalues);
}
else
return Redirect(string.Concat("http://localhost/welcome"));
}
Try with the following script:
$('form').submit(function () {
if ($(this).valid()) {
$(':submit', this).attr('disabled', 'disabled');
}
});
Make sure you execute it also in the success callback of your AJAX request in order to reattach the submit event when the form is replaced with a new content in the DOM, or the second time it might no longer work.
UPDATE: submission was not working because onclick was not returning true
<input type="submit" value="Sign Up" onclick="this.disabled = true; return true;"/>
this will disable the button and the second click on the button won't work
Is there something like UpdatePanel (in ASPX) for Razor?
I want to refresh data (e.g. table, chart, ...) automaticly every 30 seconds.
Similar to clicking the following link every 30 seconds:
#Ajax.ActionLink("Refresh", "RefreshItems", new AjaxOptions() {
UpdateTargetId = "ItemList",
HttpMethod = "Post"})
Edit:
I may should add that the action link renders a partial view.
Code in cshtml:
<div id="ItemList">
#Html.Partial("_ItemList", Model)
</div>
Code in Controller:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult RefreshItems() {
try {
// Fill List/Model
...
// Return Partial
return PartialView("_ItemList", model);
}
catch (Exception ex) {
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
}
It would be create if the PartielView could refresh itself.
You can try something similar to the following using Jquery (have not tested though)
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
setInterval(function()
{
// not sure what the controller name is
$.post('<%= Url.Action("Refresh", "RefreshItems") %>', function(data) {
// Update the ItemList html element
$('#ItemList').html(data);
});
}
, 30000);
});
</script>
The above code should be placed in the containing page i.e. not the partial view page. Bear in mind that the a partial view is not a complete html page.
My initial guess is that this script can be placed in the partial and modified as follows. Make sure that the ajax data type is set to html.
<script type="text/javascript">
setInterval(function()
{
// not sure what the controller name is
$.post('<%= Url.Action("Refresh", "RefreshItems") %>', function(data) {
// Update the ItemList html element
$('#ItemList').html(data);
});
}
, 30000);
</script>
Another alternative is to store the javascript in a separate js file and use the Jquery getScript function in ajax success callback.
Well, if you don't need the AJAX expierience than use the HTML tag:
<meta http-equiv=”refresh” content=”30; URL=http://www.programmingfacts.com”>

If someone wants the complete code for a selfupdating partial view have a look!
Code of the Controller:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult RefreshSelfUpdatingPartial() {
// Setting the Models Content
// ...
return PartialView("_SelfUpdatingPartial", model);
}
Code of the Partial (_SelfUpdatingPartial.cshtml):
#model YourModelClass
<script type="text/javascript">
setInterval(function () {
$.post('#Url.Action("RefreshSelfUpdatingPartial")', function (data) {
$('#SelfUpdatingPartialDiv').html(data);
}
);
}, 20000);
</script>
// Div
<div id="SelfUpdatingPartialDiv">
// Link to Refresh per Click
<p>
#Ajax.ActionLink("Aktualisieren", "RefreshFlatschels", new AjaxOptions() {
UpdateTargetId = "FlatschelList",
HttpMethod = "Post", InsertionMode = InsertionMode.Replace
})
</p>
// Your Code
// ...
</div>
Code to integrate the Partial in the "Main"-View (ViewWithSelfupdatingPartial.cs):
#Html.Partial("_FlatschelOverview", Model)
The <meta refresh ..> tag in HTML will work for you. Its the best option
Traditional controls don't works in ASP MVC
You could do it using Jquery timers http://plugins.jquery.com/project/timers
Other option could be to use the Delay function
In your target is as simple as refresh the whole page, this SO link will be of your interest: Auto refresh in ASP.NET MVC
Hope It Helps.
