Dear friends,

I was searching for the following;

I have a href which got a URL.Action.

@Url.Action("Index", "Action", new { ID = 1 })

The ID need to be hidden value from a input field.

<input type="text" style="visibility:hidden;" class="SelectedAction" value=""/>

The value of this hidden input field is filled with jquery. I don't want to create a form so wondering how I can get the value of the hidden input into de URL.Action ID.
Any options to do this without a form? using jquery or javascript.

Ajax submit the only option so far I found.

XML

<div class="modal-footer">
    <a href="#" class="btn" data-dismiss="modal">Close</a>
    <input type="button" value="Send" onclick="submit()" />
</div>

<script>
    function submit() {
        $.ajax({
            url: @Url.Action("act", "con") + '?param1=' + $('#myFormSubmit').value +
                                              '&param2=' @Model.Obj.Value1 +
                                              '&param3=' + @Model.HashedValue,
            type: 'POST',
            // ... other ajax options ...
        });
    }

This is the only option?

It depends if you just want to call the action or navigate to the page. You could store the value in a cookie via jquery and access it server-side that way. However I suspect what you're doing is trying to resolve a problem via a flawed method.

Yeah maybe it's just waste of time.

As you said, hidden input value is filled using jQuery, you can do the following:

HTML

@Url.Action("Index", "Action", new { @class = "myLink" });
<input type="text" style="visibility:hidden;" class="SelectedAction" />

JavaScript

$(".myLink").attr("href", "/Action/Index?id=" + $(".SelectedAction").val());

This is confushing me. The @class = "mylink" is always null in this case so you passing a null value to a controller?

public ActionResult Index( int ID ) <-- will be null because you not giving a value to the controller.

Not passing myLink to controller. It's a CSS class. I have used it so that I can access that link using it in jQuery.
