When i click the add button im able to add items dynamically. But for PostBack it gives me only the lastly appended item. I checked it by putting a break point on post ActionResult. How can i get the whole collection for PostBack? Where did i go wrong? All help appreciated. Thanks!
Your scripts sets a variable var isExist = false;
. When you add a new item, you check if the value is false
(which it is if you got that far) and then disable all existing inputs.
Disabled form controls do not post back, hence you only get the values for the last row you have added.
Its unclear why you would want to disable them, but if you want to prevent editing of existing rows, the make them readonly
$(".editorRow").children().prop("readonly", true);
