    <p>I'm trying to create some complex form scheme in a .NET MVC 3 project (or so I think). I'll show a wireframe so that you can understand better. <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/xZyYx.png" alt="Wireframe for my form"></p> <p>As you can see from the pic above, it's a form to create a new Car Dealership. I can choose from many available car's manufacturers (in the <code>Add a tab</code>), and each selection creates a new tab in the panel underneath it. In each panel there's a html fieldset, and I can add some new cars on it.</p> <p>In the end, I want to submit all the form, which comprehends the data from the dealership (e.g. name), the car's brands that it has and the cars available for each brand. How can I do it with MVC 3? I don't know how exactly should I instantiate the model Car Dealership and its respective View. What should the cars in the panels be? An array of inputs? And how can I separate the inputs from one tab from the ones of another? All of this, using Razor!</p> <p>My real-world scenario is a little bit more complicated, but I'll start by this so that I can try to solve the rest by myself. I'm using jQuery/jQuery UI, but I'm opened to other javascript alternatives (like Backbone, etc - I just don't know them yet). Thanks in advance!</p> <hr> <p><strong>UPDATE (1):</strong></p> <p>These are my models so far: </p> <pre><code>public class CarDealership { public int Id { get; set; } public string Name { get; set; } public virtual ICollection&lt;ManufactorOnDealership&gt; ManufactorsOnDealership { get; set; } } public class Manufactor { public int Id { get; set; } public string Name { get; set; } public virtual ICollection&lt;ManufactorOnDealership&gt; DealershipsOfManufactor { get; set; } } // Junction class: I believe it's needed because the list of Cars belongs to this relationship public class ManufactorOnDealership { public int Id { get; set; } public int CarDealershipId { get; set; } public int ManufactorId { get; set; } public virtual CarDealership CarDealership { get; set; } public virtual Manufactor Manufactor { get; set; } public virtual ICollection&lt;Car&gt; CarsOnDealership { get; set; } } public class Car { public int Id { get; set; } public string Name { get; set; } public virtual ICollection&lt;ManufactorOnDealership&gt; Manufactors { get; set; } } </code></pre>

    2. CO@Ryand.Johnson You're right. It became a bit confusing. I tried to explain a little bit more. I couldn't achieve much code that made relevant to post here; I'll do it as long as I improve my project...

    3. COSo you're saying that if I add a Toyota from the first section, it will add a new tab below, which in turn will allow me to pop up a new form which will allow me to enter a vehicle which when closed will populate the content area of the Toyota tab and on clicking create will save the entire form with Toyota and the other tabs as one insert?

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.
