Use normal HTML Button to call Controller in ASP.NET MVC2?

Question

I want to use normal HTML Button to call Controller in ASP.NET MVC2, instead of ActionLink, is that possible?

Answer 1

Sure, just use Url.Action() to render the URL to the action.

<a href="<%= Url.Action("Action") %>">BLA BLA</a>

or

<button onclick="javascript: window.location = '<%= Ajax.JavascriptEncode(Url.Action("Action")) %> '">Click me</button>
