ASP.NET MVC - Can I create an invisible Ajax.ActionLink() ?

Question

Is it possible to create an invisible Ajax.ActionLink?

Ajax.ActionLink("", "Action", Args, AjaxArgs)

The above doesn't work, LinkName (1st argument) cannot be Null or Empty...

Answer 1

You might just have to wrap it in a div like this:

<div style="{display:none}">Ajax.ActionLink("", "Action", Args, AjaxArgs)</div>

Answer 2

You can add a style html attribute:

Ajax.ActionLink("LinkText", "Action", Args, AjaxArgs,new{style="display:none;"})
