Ajax.Actionlink output with id attribute

Question

Hi everyone,

I'm using the Ajax.Actionlink from the MVC framework and everything works fine with my targets and partial views. However I've seen that the html output doesn't add the "id" attribute to the resulting tag.

Is there any way how I can add it?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

You need to use new { id = "myId" } in the object htmlAttributes parameter, available in several of its constructors. Or you can fill it using the IDictionary<string, string> htmlAttributes also available in several of its constructors.

Answer 2

Use the signature that includes the route values:

<%= Ajax.ActionLink( "Link",
                     "Action",
                     new { id = Model.ID },
                     new { ...here there be AjaxOptions...} ) %>

Answer 3

I believe you're looking for the routeValues parameter.

<%= Ajax.ActionLink("SomeAction", "SomeController", new { id = ID_HERE }, null) %>

Answer 4

Try one of the overloads, like this one:

public static string ActionLink(
    this AjaxHelper ajaxHelper,
    string linkText,
    string actionName,
    Object routeValues,
    AjaxOptions ajaxOptions,
    Object htmlAttributes
)

Then you can specify the id in the htmlAttributes parameter, e.g.

new { id = "myIdValue" }

Thank you everybody! it worked with the parameter htmlAttributes. You're the best!
