javascript - Razor form on a facebook tab page -

i trying execute form inside facebook tab. have tried among many things:

it seems request.httpmethod == "post" not working usual. @message prints out on pageload. have tried add alert before return $('form').valid(). not being executed.

any ideas of issue or workaround.

code:

@{     var message = string.empty;     if (request.httpmethod == "post")     {         message = "submitted";     } }  <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery.validate/1.11.1/jquery.validate.min.js"></script>  <div class="form">     @if (!string.isnullorempty(message))     {         <p class="formfinish">             @message         </p>     }      <div class="row">         <label>name</label>         <input type="text" name="name" id="name" class="required" minlength="4" maxlength="30" />     </div>     <div class="newgame row">         <button class="btn">submit</button>     </div> </div>  <script type="text/javascript">     $(document).ready(function () {          $('form').attr('enctype', "multipart/form-data");         $('form').on('submit', function () {             return $('form').valid()         });     }); </script> 

i might missing obvious, doesn't seem you're sending post. you've got no actual form there, div class of "form", , "submit" button button doesn't appear have action associated it. you're going need post if want page post request.

edit: here's working code, had change "div class='form'" actual form element method "post". note didn't fix usage of jquery validate, form generating post request, should on way.

@{     var message = string.empty;     if (request.httpmethod == "post")     {         message = "submitted";     } }  <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery.validate/1.11.1/jquery.validate.min.js"></script>  <form method="post">     @if (!string.isnullorempty(message))     {         <p class="formfinish">             @message         </p>     }      <div class="row">         <label>name</label>         <input type="text" name="name" id="name" class="required" minlength="4" maxlength="30" />     </div>     <div class="newgame row">         <input type="submit" class="btn" value="submit" />     </div> </form>
