input with same name on different forms on the same page

[Dan]

I have a requirement that on a page that already contains a number of widgets to display a window that contains the same widgets.

The problem is that the page and the partial view loaded in the window are created using

@Html.Kendo().XXXFor(m => m.Property)....

and have discovered that when I load the window the widget on the page disappear and the widget on the window is not created. Also there are a lot of errors in the kendo code.

Is there a way to change the name that is required by the telerik but to leave the input names as they are?

Hello Dan,

When multiple widgets with the same id are initialized on the page the observed behavior will occur. As described in our documentation the Name option will be used to set the id and the name attributes of the rendered element. The Name options of the helpers have to be always unique in the context of the whole web page. You could read more in the article linked below:

- https://docs.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/getting-started/helper-basics/fundamentals#basic-configuration

You could set a different id and name to the elements using the Name() option, however, I am afraid that this will also set different name attribute to the input fields.
