    text
    copied!<p>The MVC model binder is doing a great job of picking up values from my page and passing them into my action methods as properties in my complex input.</p> <p>I'm trying to create a shopping cart type of page, where the user can configure a list of line items, then submit the entire order.</p> <p>At first I was using Ajax forms for when the user wanted to add an item -- the list of existing lineitems would be passed back to the controller, a new lineitem would be added, and a partial view for the list returned.</p> <p>Unfortunately, looks like you can't redirect to another page after an Ajax form is submitted. I don't want to do it in jQuery though, because I don't want to deal with explicitly creating the list of complex objects when the MVC model binder does such a good job of it.</p> <p>EDIT: To clarify, here is my problem:</p> <p>I want my form to have 2 operations, both of these require the list of lineitems to be passed back.</p> <p>It is my understanding that I have to do at least one of these operations using javascript. Either:</p> <ol> <li>Use an HtmlForm to submit the entire order, return a new view </li> <li>Add the lineitem with jQuery when the "add item" button is clicked</li> </ol> <p>OR</p> <ol> <li>Use an AjaxForm to dynamically add new lineitems</li> <li>Use javascript to do the redirect after the order is submitted, but this means I have to submit the data using javascript as well</li> </ol> <p>Is there a way I can do this without using javascript? I don't want to create the list of lineitems myself with JSON when the movdel binder does it without any work on my part.</p>
