Can I change the parameter or is the action static/"locked down"?

Question

My code works, I can upload a file.

But how do I set typeNavn to something else runtime, so the value depends on witch tap is selected on the page.?

I want to either set typeNavn as either "billeder" or "dokumenter". Now it's always "billeder" from ViewBag.typeNavn, is that possible and how?

Is the action so static, that I can't change any of it's parameters runtime? I have tryed messing around with a callback, a JavaScript variable and a Razor variable. And it either doesn't work for me, or doesn't change it's first value.

var upload = $('#upload').wijupload(
{
    // Note: the next two lines must be on one line for it to work.
    // It's only two on SO so we don't have the x-scrollbar.
    action: '@CleanHtml.Clean(Html,@Url.Action( "UploadFiles",  "Dokument",  
                                          new { typeNavn = ViewBag.typeNavn } ))'
});

Answer 1

You need a JavaScript variable that can be changed dynamically, and then used as part of the action url.

var typeNavn = ''; // Declare this somewhere. This is updated by some means.

var cleanHtml = '@CleanHtml.Clean(Html)'; // I don't know what Clean() does.

var upload = $('#upload').wijupload(
{
    // Note: the next two lines must be on one line for it to work.
    // It's only two on SO so we don't have the x-scrollbar.
    action: '/UploadFiles/Dokument?typeNavn=' + typeNavn)'
});

OK the layout of the above code may not be what you need (I don't know what cleanHtml is supposed to be), but the core idea of using a variable typeNavn is key here. You need some means of updating that variable to reflect the type selected i.e. a dropdownlist of something.

Answer 2

It's a bit unclear...do you have a radio/checkbox/etc where you want to change typeNavn or do you want to set that in the controller? Url.Action will render a string which you could certainly change using javascript. However in what context you are using this is a bit unclear.

Just going to guess that you want something like this:

$(".list").change(function(){
    var list = $(this);
    var url = baseUrl + "?typeNavn=" + list.val(); // How you get baseUrl variable is up to you
    var upload = $('#upload').wijupload(
    {
        action: url
    });
});

Answer 3

One thing you can do is pass the TabName in the action of controller as a parameter when loading view. And set the viewbag's value accordingly. So this will not be static and work perfectly.

second way, you can update querystring paramter name by jquery

Answer 4

You can use a placeholder value which can be replace with any desired value using the .replace() method. Here is pseudo-code. In example I have used -1 as placeholder value

Code

var typeNavn = '@ViewBag.typeNavn';
var action = '@CleanHtml.Clean(Html, @Url.Action( "UploadFiles",  "Dokument",  
                                          new { typeNavn = -1} ))'; //Really have no idean

//Here you can use -1 as place holder which you can replace using JavaScript like
action = action.replace('-1', typeNavn); 

var upload = $('#upload').wijupload(
{
    action: action
});

Note: I have no idea about CleanHtml.Clean
