I have a drop down of countries. When a person selects a country, a second drop down of cities that are located in that country is populated. Beside the city drop down, I have the word "New" which when the user clicks on, turns into an edit box where they can type in a new city for that country. When the save button is pressed, it makes a backend call to my action. Since in the action, I am creating a new city for a country, I need to know which country was selected in the first drop down. How do I pass the country ID for the selected country into the action? It looks like the in place editor makes its own little form, and when you submit only a couple of things in that form gets submitted - one being the value you type in the edit box.
