@model presentationlayer.models.hr.equipmenttypes @{     viewbag.title = "equipment"; } @section script{     <script type="text/javascript">         $.ajaxsetup({             cache: false         });   </script> } <h2>links</h2> <h3>all links</h3> <table>     <thead>         <tr>             <td>name</td>          </tr>     </thead>     @foreach (var equipmenttype in model.equipmenttype)     {         <tr>             <td>@ajax.actionlink(equipmenttype.name, "index", "link", new { id = equipmenttype.id }, new ajaxoptions { httpmethod = "get", updatetargetid = "linkedit", insertionmode = insertionmode.replace })</td>          </tr>     } </table>  @html.partial("linkedit", model.typetoedit)  @ajax.actionlink("edit", "edit", "link", new { id = equipmenttype.id }, new ajaxoptions { httpmethod = "get", updatetargetid = "linkedit", insertionmode = insertionmode.replace }) 

my partial view

@using presentationlayer.models.hr @model presentationlayer.models.hr.equipmenttype  <div id="linkedit">     @using (html.beginform())     {         @html.validationsummary(true)         <fieldset>             <legend>edit</legend>             @if (model.islocked == true)             {                 @html.textboxfor(model => model.name)                 @html.hiddenfor(model => model.id, new {id="hiddenid"})             }             else             {                 @html.textboxfor(model => model.name, new { disabled = "disabled", @readonly = "readonly" })              }             <p>                 <input type="submit" value="save" />             </p>         </fieldset>     } </div> 

i need able hiddenfor data out , able push id in @ equipmenttype.id part of ajax edit call, trying use tempdata did after, didn't initally understand how temporary tempdata was. requirement edit buttons in main layout, seemed impossible do.

i new asp.net mvc, been coding asp.net few years , works on mvc within java, has left me @ bit of stop. hope have given enough information, if not let me know , try expand.

thanks

you edit button outside of foreach loop. won't id @ all.

place edit button within loop value of equipmenttype.id. each row have it's own edit button. that's normal thing in tabular data edit function.
