My input pages have an OK and a Cancel button on them. These buttons are generated in a separate, partial view. The OK button is the submit for the form. The Cancel is a link to a different action. I can’t make the Cancel button into a standard:
<form><input value="Cancel"></form>
as this would end up with nested forms which doesn’t work (The form is on the outer, master view).
I can use Javascript, but I was hoping to have a page that would work without it.
I tried:
<a href="@Url.Action("DoStuff")"><button type="button">Stuff</button></a>
This works fine on Firefox, but does nothing on IE. Am I missing something here? Is there a simple way to get a button to work as a hyperlink?
You can always make the cancel button submit the form and make the redirect on the server side
