Answer 1

Andrew,

I'm thinking something a little more difficult than tags. In this simple case a name / value pair .. color: Red; size: 10; material: cotton.

I think anything that could be used on that could extend to more complex. I.e. Adding a category and adding all its items on the same page. It's relatively easy to add another line using some jQuery, but what's the consensus on sending the info to the ActionMethod?

You can't code:

public ActionResult Whatever(stirng attr1Name, string attr2Name, string attr3Name ...

Also I don't think accepting this would work either:

public ActionResult Whatever(ILIst attributes, string productName ...
