Hey!

Your MVC controller is typically server side, where javascript runs client side. If you want to pass a value from one to another you have to post the value (for example using a querystring). You cannot access a javascript function while running a MVC Controller method.

You may want to use for example a form with a hidden field and submit the form, the value of the hidden field will be passed to the server where is will be accessible.

Good luck!
