Question

Is it possible to have a button that doesn’t post back to the server, and the click event can be detected by jquery? I have an MVC page that takes a while to load and access a database and i just want to reduce the number of loads required and db hits.

Answer 1

Just make the button a regular button instead of a submit button, and then do:

$("#myButton").click(function () {
    whatever it is I want to do ...
});
