kendo ui按钮http发布不触发

Question

In my index.cshtml page, following line of code DOES fire HttpPost so that I could get into the HttpPost tagged Index method in the controller class.

 <input type="submit" value="Run Calculation" />

            [HttpPost]
            public ActionResult Index(TimberBeamCalculator.Models.Dimensions dim)
            {
    ..................
            }

But the following code for kendo ui button, does not fire the HttpPost mentioned above.

 @Html.Kendo().Button().Name("setting").Icon("pencil").HtmlAttributes(new { type = "button" }).Content("Run Calculation");

What am I missing??

Answer 1

Kendo.button does not render out as a submit button. You either need to tweak the properties of your kendo button to make it a submit button, or use jquery to do something like

$("#setting").click(function()
{ 
  $("#idOfYourForm").submit();
});

First, you should try setting the HtmlProperties of your kendo button with type of submit. If that doesn't work, go for the jquery route I mentioned.
