MVC3 input submit

I have an Index page in an MVC3 C#.Net web app. The Index View of my Proposal Model contains an input submit button:

 <input  type="submit" name="Create" id="Create" value="Create New Proposal" style="width: 200px" />

When the button is clicked, I want to invoke the Create View on the Proposal Model. However, I can't get any method in the Proposal Controller to fire when clicking on the "create New" input button. Can I call the Index Post method? The Proposal Create get method? Any ideas?

You have to write a post method and then use this for displaying your View

@using (Html.BeginForm("YourAction", "Controller", "FormMethod.Post"))
{   
  //your View code display
}

Try using an HTML Helper like @Html.BeginForm. See here for clues: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.mvc.html.formextensions.beginform.aspx

In your case try this:

@using (Html.BeginForm("Create", "Proposal")){

......
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />

}

You need your submit button inside a form and an overloaded ActionResult in your controller which uses the HttpPost attribute.

Something like...

Controller

public ActionResult Index()
{
   return View(new MyViewModel());
}

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Index(MyViewModel model)
{
   // do stuff with model
}

View

@using(Html.BeginForm())
{
   <input type="submit" value="Go" />
}

That would render a form and post it to the Index action result in your controller.
