    text
    copied!<p>I'm new to both ASP.Net MVC and jQuery and what I'm trying to do is make a form that either adds a new RockBand or updates an existing RockBand based on if the rockbandid is an empty guid or not. I figured now is a good time to get rolling with jQuery. So the first step is to make a list of bands and put an edit link next to it. If the user clicks on the edit link I want to alter the value of the input box and the hidden field. The code below is the first step, trying to set the value of the input box (with a fixed string for the moment but eventually would be whatever the band name is). However I get an Object Required Error when I do so. (The jQuery include is on the Site.Master)</p> <pre><code>&lt;asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent" runat="server"&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; function fillinbandname(thebandname) { $('#bandname').val(thebandname); } &lt;/script&gt; &lt;ul&gt; &lt;%foreach (DomainModel.RockBand rockband in ViewData.Model) %&gt; &lt;%{ %&gt; &lt;li&gt;&lt;%=rockband.BandName %&gt; &lt;a href='javascript:fillinbandname("somesamplevalue");'&gt;edit&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt; &lt;%} %&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;%Html.BeginForm("MakeOrUpdateRockBand", "Bands", FormMethod.Post); %&gt; &lt;input type="text" id="bandname" name="bandname" maxlength="30" /&gt; &lt;input type="hidden" id="bandid" name="bandid" value="00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000" /&gt; &lt;input type="submit" value="Add New Band" /&gt; &lt;%Html.EndForm(); %&gt; &lt;/asp:Content&gt; </code></pre> <p>It feels like I'm soooo close...but am missing something fundamental.</p>
