Question

I am having problem with fetching the text of the selected ActionLink

I am displaying the links dynamically after fetching through database like this:

 @foreach (var item in Model)
{
   <li>@Html.ActionLink(item.HobbyName, "Hobbies")</li>
}

Now, how shall I fetch the text of selected Link?

I tried this:

filename = $('a').text;
alert(filename);

But does not to work.
Please help me!

Answer 1

Use like this

filename = $('a').text();

text() is a function, not a property.

EDIT:

If you want to get link text when you click in that link try like this

$('a').click(function() {
   filename = $(this).text();
});
