Question

i am using jquery grid in MVC 3 .as a formatter option i am using following code as a script segment.

function viewformateadorLink(cellvalue, options, rowObject) {
             return "<a href=../xxx/yyy/Edit/" + rowObject[0] + ">" + cellvalue + "</a>";   
         }

but i don’t want to use href here .better option i have found is as follows:

func....(){
   var url = '@Html.ActionLink( "_name_", "Edit", new { id = "_id_" })';
           url = url.replace(/_name_/, cellvalue);
           url = url.replace(/_id_/, rowObject[0]);
           return url;    
   }

are there any simple way exist for passing parameter?

Answer 1

If the value you want to pass to the link is in a JavaScript variable and you don’t want to use href, then I’m afraid you can’t go further than you already have gone and this is why:

The JavaScript code is ALWAYS executed after the server-side code.

I imagine you would like to do something like:

@Html.ActionLink( "_name_", "Edit", new { id = *JAVASCRIPT VARIABLE* })

but due to the reason I mentioned above, such thing is impossible.

I would suggest you stick to any of the other methods you used in your question.
