Question

@(Html.ActionLink("Link Label", 
    "ActionMethodName", 
    "ControllerName", 
    null, // parameter object, then html object
    null))

produces

<a href="/ControllerName/ActionMethodName/">Link Label</a>

If I want to reference the /ControllerName/ActionMethodName/id in a JavaScript template for the Edit or New link, how would I assign that to a JavaScript variable?

attempt:

<script type="text/javascript">
    var actionUrl = '@(Html.ActionLink("","ActionMethodName",
                                       "ControllerName",null,null))';
</script>

but at that point, I would have to use Javascript to remove the unwanted <a href... characters in the string.

Answer 1

@Url.Action("ActionMethodName", "ControllerName") will generate a path.
