passing ID of dynamically created table rows to controller using MVC

Question

I have a table that is dynamically created using JQuery. I need to pass the IDs of every row in that table to the controller so that I can save the values to the Database. My HTML for the dynamically created rows looks like this

<td class="text-center" style="width:100px;" name="RegistrationTypeInspectionType.InspectionTypes" value="5">
    <button class="removeInspectionType" type="button" data-val="5">Remove</button>
</td>

here is a code snippet of what my C# looks like

var registrationTypeInspectionTypes =
                 new BusinessLayer.RegistrationTypeInspectionType().GetAll();

model.RegistrationTypeInspectionType.RegistrationTypeInspectionTypes =
                                                     registrationTypeInspectionTypes;

when I submit the form these values are not being sent to the controller.

Only input fields are submitted not the td or tr of the table. Please try to create hidden fields in each td with the name you want to submit. your table should look like this

<td class="text-center" style="width:100px;" name="RegistrationTypeInspectionType.InspectionTypes" value="5">
<input type="hidden" name="RegistrationTypeInspectionType.InspectionTypes" value="5"/>
<button class="removeInspectionType" type="button" data-val="5">Remove</button>

Now when you submit the form these hidden fields will also be submitted and you can get these in the controller.
