Question

I have two pages, a employee edit page and a view all employe table page.

I want to be on the view all employee table page and if the users clicks a row, I want to submit to the controller the employee id and then load the employee edit page. I can get all the information needed to do this but can’t seem to find a way to submit the page to the controller with the additional parameter.

Any ideas???

EDIT

Essentially what I want to do is if the click a row in the datatable for employee id 5, I want to say submit the form to /LoadEmployeeInfo/Employee with employee id 5 as the parameter. Can this be done with javascript????

To do this you just need to get the EmployeeId and then can just call the link

 $('#employeeTable tbody tr').click(function ()
 {
    var EmployeeId =$("td:first", this).text();

    window.location = "/yourControllerName/yourActionMethodName/" + EmployeeId; 
  });

your action method should have id as method parameter

public ActionResult YourActionMethod(int id)
{
       int employeeId = id;

       // Rest of your code
}
