MVC button to launch Ajax.ActionLink

Question

@Ajax.ActionLink( "Link Text", "RefreshTestStatus2", "refresh", new AjaxOptions { UpdateTargetId = "status", InsertionMode = InsertionMode.InsertBefore }) 

But I would like to use something like a submit button to launch it. Does anyone know how to do this?

Answer 1

I decided to implement it as an Ajax form.

 @using(Ajax.BeginForm( "RefreshTestStatus2", "refresh", new AjaxOptions { UpdateTargetId = "status", InsertionMode = InsertionMode.InsertBefore })) { <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Link Text" /> } 

I think it’s safe to say that it’s not so simple Ajax.ActionLink, but it gives you the enter button.

Answer 2

One option is to use some css to make the link look like a button
