Question

Currently I have this…

    public void lnkTag_Click(object sender, EventArgs e){
        ...
    }

Which is attached to the click() event of link buttons, but the problem is this requires a form resubmission when the user tries to back in the browser after clicking one.

I’d like to turn this into an ajax call that passes in the text value of the link. So to have a method like this in the code behind:

    public void lnkTag_Click(string linkText){
        ...
    }

Where this method is accessed via ajax on a

  $('myLinkButton').click(function() {
      $.ajax...
  })

Any thoughts? Thanks.

Do the following for sending the parameter value:

$('myLinkButton').click(function() {
    $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
        url: "yourpage.aspx/lnkTag_Click",
        data: "{'linkText': '" + linkTextValue + "'}",
        dataType: "json",
        success: function(data) {
            //do something if it's successful
        },
        error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
            //do something if there's an error
        }
    });
});
