PageWriter.ReplaceInputValueWith suggests inputName as parameter but requires input Id #198

Open skyne opened 9 years ago

skyne commented 9 years ago

For ReplaceInputValueWith(string inputName, string value) i think i should give the input (for example a TextBox) name, but then nothing happens, the method can't fill my TextBox. This is because ReplaceInputValueWith uses HtmlControlFor<>() which requires the element's id as parameter.

I have an extensive Asp.Net MVC form with a model, this model has more objects as properties, and a forms builts up from 'model.property.property' textboxes. I tried to fill this form with Input.Model() method, but that isn't working. So i tried to fill the textboxes with Input.ReplaceInputValueWith(), checked the source of the page, the Input field's id was in form of "Propertyname_Propertyname" and name "Propertyname.PropertyName", this confused me.

So the examples: When i try to fill the TextBox with the next method, everything is just works fine.

Input.ReplaceInputValueWith("Propertyname_Propertyname", "somevalue")

but with

Input.ReplaceInputValueWith(model => model.Propertyname.Propertyname, "value")

or

Input.ReplaceInputValueWith("Propertyname.Propertyname", "value")

nothing happens, no exception, no error just nothing.

Have you tried adding the mvc control id generator to your Seleno host configuration?

Okay, it's fixed my particural issue, the Input.Model() method now works, but not the

Input.ReplaceInputValueWith("Propertyname.Propertyname", "value")

The ReplaceInputValueWith method still needs the id of the input not the name as suggested with the name of the first parameter.

Anyway, thanks for the hint :)

Ok. That's something we can look into :).
