(My first quesion, I'm quite impressed :) )
First, please excuse my English, I'm French ;)
My issue is about DropDownList which is linked(bind) to a required field (F, int) of an object O (edited in a view V) and contains a list of elements (LE), some of them disabled.
The behavior I want in the view :
when I create an object, the validation must trigg if nothing
is selected in the list (OK)
when I create an object, the disabled elements of the list must not be selectable (OK)
when I edit an object, if the field is among enabled values, same behavior (OK)
when I edit an object, if the field is among disabled values, it must be displayed and selected when viewed (OK)
when I edit an object, if the field is among disabled values, when I post data, the client validation must authorize disabled values to be validated (OK with a little javascript)
My issue :
when I edit an object, if the field is among disabled values, when I
post data, the model contains null for the field linked to the
dropdownlist even if I include an hidden field with the Id.
Here is some of my code to help understand my issue.
Any idea of how I could include disabled values of my dropdown list in the model when I post data ?
Thanks for any help !
View :
<div class="col-md-3">
#Html.DropDownListFor(model => model.Currency.Id, (SelectList)ViewBag.Currencies, new { #class = "form-control ignore-desactivated" })
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Currency, "", new { #class = "text-danger" })
</div>
JS :
$(function () {
$('form').validate().settings.ignore = '.ignore-desactivated';
});
Source when edition :
<div class="col-md-3">
<select class="form-control ignore-desactivated" data-val="true" data-val-number="The field Id must be a number." data-val-required="The Id field is required." id="Currency_Id" name="Currency.Id">
<option value="-1"></option>
<option disabled="disabled" value="9">Angolan kwanza (desactivated)</option>
<option value="10">Argentine peso</option>
<option disabled="disabled" selected="selected" value="1">Euro (desactivated)</option>
<option disabled="disabled" value="56">Gibraltar pound (desactivated)</option>
<option value="3">Great Britain Pound</option>
</select>
<span class="field-validation-valid text-danger" data-valmsg-for="Currency" data-valmsg-[replace][1]="true"></span>
</div>
My model when I want to save data :
https://i.stack.imgur.com/jQ9aH.png
... and I found an answer a few minutes after asking it (thanks to my colleagues)...
I don't know if that's correct, but a little js code to remove disabled items before the post did the trick :
//Delete disabled elements of lists before submit
$('form').submit(function () {
$('.ignore-desactivated').each(function () {
$(this).children().each(function () {
$(this).removeAttr('disabled');
});
})
})

I have here a sample document from mongodb named chapters:
{_id:5c014c999cc48c3b0057988b, chapter_name:"AB"}
Controller: here is my function to get the chapters, and function to post to another db:
.controller('regCtrl', function($http, $location, $timeout, User, Bloodbankchapter) {
Bloodbankchapter.getBloodbankchapters().then(function(data) {
app.bloodbankchapters = data.data.bloodbankchapters;
});
this.regUser = function(regData) {
User.create(app.regData).then(function(data) {});
};
Then in my front-end to register:
<form name="regForm" ng-submit="register.regUser(regData); ">
<label>Chapter Name</label> <!--After I select the chapter name -->
<select ng-model="register.regData.branch" ng-options ="chapter._id as chapter.chapter_name for chapter in register.bloodbankchapters">
<option ng-repeat="chapter in register.bloodbankchapters" >{{chapter.chapter_name}}</option>
</select>
<label>Chapter ID</label> <!--chapter ID will appear here-->
<input type="text" ng-model="register.regData.branch_id" hidden>
<label>Chapter name</label> <!--How to make chapter name appear here?-->
<input type="text" ng-model="register.regData.branch_name" hidden>
<button ng-disabled="register.disabled" type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
My problem here is after I selected the chapter name the second input was correct and it post the id into the db, but how can I get the chapter.name and post it to db?
I tried getting the text value from the select box and then appending it to a textbox like here: http://jsfiddle.net/kxqJN/, but when I register, the object id is being registered instead of chapter_name like this:
`{branch_id:5c014c999cc48c3b0057988b, branch_name:"5c014c999cc48c3b0057988b"}`
How can I display the name in the first box and the id in the second?
I bet you haven't tried what i suggested in the comments: chapter.chapter_name for chapter in register.bloodbankchapters track by chapter._id will lead you to have both values in your model:
angular.module('selectExample', [])
.controller('ExampleController', ['$scope', function($scope) {
$scope.register = {
regData: {
branch: {},
},
bloodbankchapters: [
{_id:'5c014c999cc48c3b0057988b', chapter_name:"AB"},
{_id:'5c014c999cc48c3b0057988c', chapter_name:"A"},
],
};
}]);
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/angular.js/1.7.5/angular.min.js"></script>
<div ng-app="selectExample" ng-controller="ExampleController">
<select ng-model="register.regData.branch" ng-options ="chapter.chapter_name for chapter in register.bloodbankchapters track by chapter._id">
<option ng-repeat="chapter in register.bloodbankchapters" >{{chapter.chapter_name}}</option>
</select>
<div>{{register.regData.branch}}</div>
</div>
Try this way, you will get selected chapter object inside register.regData.branch
<select ng-model="register.regData.branch" ng-options ="chapter as chapter.value for chapter in register.bloodbankchapters">
It's handy to use a Display attribute for model properties in MVC:
Model:
[Display(Name="Your Name:")]
public string Name { get; set; }
View:
#Html.LabelFor(m => m.Name)
#Html.EditorFor(m => m.Name)
But ... is it possible to use the Display attribute for naming the individual choices for radio buttons? The following is what I use now, but the 'Label for...' tag is a little inconsistent with the rest of the view. Anyone?
<div class="radio-inline">
#Html.RadioButtonFor(m => m.OpenToPublic, true, new { id = "isOpenToPublic" })
<label for="isOpenToPublic">Open to the Public</label>
</div>
<div class="radio-inline">
#Html.RadioButtonFor(m => m.OpenToPublic, false, new { id = "isInviteesOnly" })
<label for="isInviteesOnly">Invitees Only</label>
</div>
I like the code above, since using the Label tag results in being able to click on the label text to select the radio button, and the styling of the text is correct. I just wonder if there's a way to do this with data annotations on the model's property for the radio button.
Thanks,

there is this piece of code that provides a checkbox following from a link to the T&C.
<div class="checkbox accept_agreement">
<label class="control-label" for="step_data_accept_agreement">
<input type="hidden" name="step_data[accept_agreement]" value="0">
<input type="checkbox" name="step_data[accept_agreement]" id="step_data_accept_agreement" value="1">
<label for="step_data_accept_agreement">
<a target="_blank" href="/lanevillkor/">
<font><font>I agree, have read and stored the terms and conditions</font></font>
</a>
</label>
</label>
</div>
Now, I am working on a spock test using geb, and I try to retrieve the checkbox element
<input type="checkbox" name="step_data[accept_agreement]" id="step_data_accept_agreement" value="1">
to do so i have tried many things without the expected output. i was expected that something like
$("#step_data_accept_agreement").click() would be pretty straight forward but it is not. in the other side if I put $("[for='step_data_accept_agreement'] label").click() it clicks the link.
I tried to become as more specific but nothing looks to return the element correctly.
one of my last attempts was
termsAndConditionsOption(wait: true) { $("#step_data_accept_agreement", name: "step_data[accept_agreement]") }
and the error message, as in the other cases too, was in one sentence
element not visible
What do I miss?
So the solution was to use js to click the checkbox. The simpliest way is:
def agreeOnTermsAndConditionsAccept() {
String mouseClickEvt = """
var evt = new MouseEvent('click', {
bubbles: true,
cancelable: true,
view: window
});
arguments[0].dispatchEvent(evt);
"""
browser.js.exec(termsAndConditionsOption.firstElement(), mouseClickEvt)
}
Geb provides js support to work with javascript, as we find in the documentation. Also another link shows how to simulate a click event with pure javascript.
This was required as the checkbox cant be found as it is hidden. With javascript we can 'see' the position of the element and perform an action in the location that we want. iniMouseEvent can be used as well as it is documentanted here
I have created a DisplayWithIdFor using the following code and it works showing the information I wish it to.
public static class DisplayWithIDHelper
{
public static MvcHtmlString DisplayWithIdForApplication<TModel, TValue>(this HtmlHelper<TModel> helper, Expression<Func<TModel, TValue>> expression, string wrapperTag = "div")
{
var id = helper.ViewContext.ViewData.TemplateInfo.GetFullHtmlFieldId(ExpressionHelper.GetExpressionText(expression));
return MvcHtmlString.Create(string.Format("<{0} style=\"color: #003F51; margin-left: 87px;\" class=\"{1}\">{2}</{0}>", wrapperTag, id, helper.DisplayFor(expression)));
}
}
My problem is simple, when I use the custom helper I end up with the label saying Application and the displayfor holding the name of the application showing with no space between them. see below.
Lastly here is the code for the image above:
<form>
<fieldset>
<p>
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.changeStatus.usersName)
#Html.DisplayFor(model => model.changeStatus.usersName)
#Html.HiddenFor(model => model.changeStatus.usersName)
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.changeStatus.usersName)
</p>
<p style="display: inline; float: left">
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.changeStatus.application)
#Html.DisplayWithIdForApplication(model => model.changeStatus.application)
#Html.HiddenFor(model => model.changeStatus.application)
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.changeStatus.application)
</p>
<p>
#Html.LabelFor(model => model.changeStatus.reasons)
#Html.TextAreaFor(model => model.changeStatus.reasons, new { #cols = "80", #rows = "4", #class = "k-textbox" })
<span style="color: red;"> #Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.changeStatus.reasons)</span>
</p>
<!-- Allow form submission with keyboard without duplicating the dialog button -->
<input type="submit" tabindex="-1" style="position:absolute; top:-1000px">
</fieldset>
</form>
Can anyone explain how to add the spacing between the two Html Helpers?
any additional code can be supplied like the Jquery popup code.
Thank you.
Edit:
Just to make things a little clearer I have to get the application name from the row of a kendo grid that is selected and set the name in the jquery using the following code:
$("div[class='changeStatus_application']").html(applicationName);
To simplify and ensure everything is acting the same, remove the:
style="display: inline; float: left"
from the second paragraph tag and use an element like a span instead of a div (block level element) in your helper.
You may then want to alter the margin left on your DisplayWithIDHelper.
Also try using classes instead of style attributes. You can then change the look of your site through your style sheet without having to recompile plus styles are centralised; easier to maintain.
I have a photography site driven in part by the 'Photoshelter' service, and I put an embedded search bar in my nav.
<form action="http://brettcole.photoshelter.com/search" method="get">
<input type="text" placeholder="search library" size="15" name="I_DSC">
<input type="submit" value="go">
<input type="hidden" name="I_DSC_AND" value="t">
<input type="hidden" name="_ACT" value="search">
</form>
It allows for a search to be executed with the no search term present, which then returns all 12,000 photos in my archive. Is there a best practice for preventing this, such that the user has to type something or nothing will happen when they click search?
It's also present on my advanced search page. This is generated by a search widget shortcode in the Photoshelter back end. I'd like to apply the same thing here, but not sure how the widgetization of it might affect the process.
Many thanks
You can use the onsubmit attribute of the form element to check if the user has entered information in any fields and then prevent submit based on that.
<script>
function checkValues() {
searchBox = document.getElementById("SearchField");
return searchBox.value != ""; // True will allow submission and false will prevent it
}
</script>
With this...
<form onsubmit="checkValues();" action="http://brettcole.photoshelter.com/search" method="get">
<input type="text" id="SearchField" placeholder="search library" size="15" name="I_DSC">
<input type="submit" value="go">
<input type="hidden" name="I_DSC_AND" value="t">
<input type="hidden" name="_ACT" value="search">
</form>
Should do what you need.

The actual search isn't working
From the contact page for example, it returns this
http://brettcolephotography.com/contact.html?I_DSC=red&I_DSC_AND=t&_ACT=search
the formula for my search returns is
http://brettcole.photoshelter.com/search?I_DSC=red&I_DSC_AND=t&_ACT=search
this search bar is present on all three of my web properties, personal site, blog, and photoshelter site, all three are tightly integrated to where you can't tell when you're switching between them. It needs to work regardless of where the search is being executed from. Thanks
Here is a function I wrote to disable the search form submitting if the search field is empty. It also focuses the cursor on the search field if the form is not submitted so that the user does not think that search is broken.
This is assuming that jQuery is loaded. Hope this helps!
var preventSearchIfEmpty = function() {
$('form[method="get"]').on( 'submit', function( ev ){
var query = $('input[type="text"]').val(),
queryLength = query.length;
if ( 0 === queryLength ) {
// Make the cursor blink so user is aware it's not broken, they need input to search
$('input[type="search"]').focus();
ev.preventDefault();
return;
}
});
}();
