    <p>I'm new to MVC and having a rough time with this. I have read many posts and books and done tutorials and I am now going to ask the public for help.</p> <p>My situation:</p> <p>I am upgrading part of a classic ASP website to MVC. It is the FAQ portion of the website.</p> <p>I've got a controller called FAQController and a View Result called, Display, that takes in the parameters Year and faqID and then displays the related FAQ information in the view.</p> <p>I want to be able to have a user rate how helpful the FAQ was by clicking on a set of links or buttons that will look like stars (1-star through 5-star ratings)</p> <p>I want the onclick event of the buttons to route to an [HttpPost] ViewResult that then stores the rating in a database and returns them to the previous view with whatever selection they made highlighted. So if they click 4 stars after the information is submitted 4 stars would be highlighted.</p> <p>So I have an int rating property in my model that I want to be able to change in the view, then update to a database, and then display the change once the view loads again.</p> <p>My question is what is a good way to change the Rating value of the Model before I resubmit the model to the controller?</p> <p>I see I can use @Html.Hiddenfor(m => Model.FAQRating) to get the value of the first model rating (which by default is 0) but how should I go about setting that value before I resubmit the form to the controller.</p> <p>Am I even thinking about this correctly? I thought I might be able to add a "rating" parameter to the Display view result but that seemed dumb.</p>

    1. COmy suggestion would be looking into ajax calls, and having javascript get the values on each click, and send it to the controller. i would give you a more specific answer, but I don't know what the html of your page looks like

    2. COYeah I ended up using a JavaScript call to set the hidden values before I resubmitted the model.. I just wondered if there was a fancier way MVC could do it with the @Html helpers.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
