ASP.NET MVC button not firing navigation
I am learning ASP.NET MVC newly. I am trying to setup a navigation between screen as below
HomeController.cs
public class HomeController : Controller
{
public ActionResult Welcome(string newId)
{
ViewBag.Message = "Welcome to my shop.";
return View();
}
}
Welcome.cshtml
@{
Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml";
}
@using (Html.BeginForm())
{
<h1>The shoppee</h1>
<input type="button" title="Cart" value="Shop Items" onclick="window.location.href='@Url.Action("SelectItems", "Cart") %>'" />
}
I have built a new CartController with SelectItems.cshtml. I have added them to routeconfig.cs. But the button above is not firing at all. I am able to manually navigate to the url using
http://localhost:portnumber/Cart/SelectItems
% >
I know its going to be lame. But didn't expect it to be this lame. Thanks mate. The form is not required as it is only a redirect, it was an attempt to make it work.

Be far easier to use a link (
@Html.ActionLink(...)) and style it as a button– Stephen Muecke

Simply remove the
% >at the end of the url. Also, Why do you need to put that button inside a form?– Rumpelstinsk
