We can have this in 2 ways   Either have 2 form submissions within the same View and having 2 Action methods at the controller but you will need to have the required fields to be submitted with the form to be placed within  ex is given here with code Multiple forms in view asp net mvc with multiple submit buttons  Or  Have 2 or multiple submit buttons say btnSubmit1 and btnSubmit2 and check on the Action method which button was clicked using the code  if  Request Form  btnSubmit1      null          if  Request Form  btnSubmit2      null

That s what we have in our applications  Attribute  public class HttpParamActionAttribute   ActionNameSelectorAttribute       public override bool IsValidName ControllerContext controllerContext  string actionName  MethodInfo methodInfo                if  actionName Equals methodInfo Name  StringComparison InvariantCultureIgnoreCase               return true           var request   controllerContext RequestContext HttpContext Request          return request methodInfo Name     null            Actions decorated with it       HttpParamAction  public ActionResult Save MyModel model                   HttpParamAction  public ActionResult Publish MyModel model                   HTML Razor   using   Html BeginForm           lt  -- form content here -- gt       lt input type  submit  name  Save  value  Save    gt       lt input type  submit  name  Publish  value  Publish    gt      name attribute of submit button should match action method name  This way you do not have to hard-code urls in javascript

You can do it with jquery  just put two methods to submit for to diffrent urls  for example with this form    lt form id  myForm  gt       lt  -- form data inputs here ---  gt       lt button id  edit  gt Edit lt  button gt       lt button id  validate  gt Validate lt  button gt   lt  form gt    you can use this script  make sure it is located in the View  in order to use the Url Action attribute     lt script type  text javascript  gt            edit   click function               var form      form myForm              form attr  action     Url Action  Edit   MyController                form submit                         validate   click function               var form      form myForm              form attr  action     Url Action  Validate   MyController                form submit               lt  script gt
