Project Details:
In the midst of developing an asp.NET web application, I am faced with a challenge. The user interface (UI) I have created allows users to generate multiple instances of an object by inputting data into forms. Consequently, numerous identical forms can exist simultaneously.
To illustrate, envision several iterations of the following basic form:
<div class="Text example div">
<div class="form-group">
@Html.LabelFor(model => model.Name, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })
<div class="col-md-10">
@Html.EditorFor(model => model.Name, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })
@Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.Name, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })
</div>
</div>
</div>
When the "Name" field is modified, I aim to save this object through ajax using a snippet like this:
$("#Name").change(function () {
//Do stuff
});
The ajax function will store the object in the database and trigger a visual change indicated by the "text example div" in the code snippet above. However, the dynamic nature of the UI brings forth a dilemma - there are multiple #Names present. It is imperative to ensure that the intended object is saved and the relevant text adjustments are made without affecting all instances.
Considering these divs are dynamically generated from a base div duplication, they share initial information.
Troubleshooting Efforts:
I initially attempted incorporating loops to alter the IDs of all objects upon creation. Unfortunately, the repetitive need for such alterations resulted in cumbersome and inelegant code. Thus, I sought a more efficient solution.
Exploring ways to retrieve the parent of the altered #Name element was another approach I explored.
Please note: I have endeavored to provide a comprehensive explanation and demonstration of the issue at hand. Should further clarification be necessary, I am more than willing to assist.
