title: MVC3 - Understanding POST with a button
body: <p>How does one obtain the form data after submitting it?</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;form target="_self" runat="server"&gt;
      &lt;p&gt;
      &lt;select id="BLAHBLAH2"&gt;
          &lt;option&gt;2010&lt;/option&gt;
          &lt;option&gt;2011&lt;/option&gt;
          &lt;option&gt;2012&lt;/option&gt;
          &lt;option&gt;2013&lt;/option&gt;
      &lt;/select&gt;
      &lt;input type="submit" runat="server" value="Change Year" /&gt;
      &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/form&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This hits the controller's <code>Index</code> method.  But, there's nothing in <code>Request.Form</code>.  Why?</p>
  
  <p>Second, can I use </p>
  
  <p><code>&lt;input type="button"</code> instead of <code>type=submit</code>?  That is, without introducing ajax via <code>onclick</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Finally, how do I submit to a different method in the controller, e.g. <code>Create</code>?</p>
