How to access javascript variable within @URL.Action()
You can't. JavaScript doesn't execute when generating the action URL. What you can do, is do something like this:
function name(myjavascriptID) { var link = '@Url.Action("download file", "download", new { id = "-1" })'; link = link.replace("-1", myjavascriptID); jQuery("#list_d").jqGrid('setGridParam', { url: link, page: 1 });}
I do something fairly similar, but less verbose:
var myUrl = '@Url.Action("Solution","Partner")/' + myjavascriptID;$.ajax.load(myUrl); // or whateverWe can do this because of routing, and ultimately Url.Action with route dictionary parameters translates into a URI that looks like:
http://localhost:41215/Partner/Solution?myJavascriptID=7Just a second choice, because as a wise old man once said "It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities."
You can pass in the variables to any link as shown below...
var url = '@Html.Raw(@Url.Action("MethodName", "ControllerName"))' + '?id = ' + myjavascriptID
