already looked at get value from Html.TextBoxFor and several other places.
I want to pass the UserName to a lost password screen. I added name="bjh" and id="bjh" as names that would not be used elsewhere, originally I used Username the value from my model (m.Username). The normal login works, values get passed but my forgot password link @LangStrings.LostPassword doesn't get the username value from @Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Username, new { style = "width:100%" ,id="bjh",name="bjh"})
Login VIEW
@model HelpDesk.Models.LoginUserModel
@using (Html.BeginForm("Login", "User", new { ReturnUrl = Request.QueryString["ReturnUrl"] }, FormMethod.Post))
{
<table class="grey" >
<tr><td colspan="2"><h2>@LangStrings.Login
@if (Settings.AllowUserRegistration) {
<span class="grey"><span style="font-weight:normal">@LangStrings.Or</span>
<a href="@Url.Action("Register")">@LangStrings.Register</a></span>
}
</h2><div>@Html.ValidationSummary(false)</div></td></tr>
<tr>
<td><span style="font-size:14px">@LangStrings.Username @LangStrings.Or @LangStrings.Email</span></td>
<td><span style="font-size:14px">@Html.TextBoxFor(m => m.Username, new { style = "width:100%" ,id="bjh",name="bjh"})</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td style="padding-top: 16px;">
<input id="Login" type="submit" value="@LangStrings.Login" style="font-weight:bold; font-size:16px " />
@if (Settings.EnableSaml) { <text><input type="submit" name="samlButton" class="graybutton" value="SAML Login" /></text> }
</td>
</tr>
<tr>

<td><a href="@Url.Action("LostPassword")" style="font-size:14px">@LangStrings.LostPassword</a>
