Hey guys, I have a little problem which to seasoned MVC pros might seem silly but I'm pretty new to MVC after programming in Web Forms for the last couple of years. Ok my problem, I have a strongly typed view which displays a list of my Models which is displayed in a grid. I want to be ably to redirect to my "Edit" action of my controller whenever the user clicks one of the buttons in the grid. I have tried doing in both Jquery and in the view but I'm having no luck.

View

HTML

<button type="button" id="Edit" name='Edit' onclick="window.location.href('@Url.Action("Edit","Account")')"></button>

Controller

C#

public ActionResult Edit()
       {
           return View();
       }

So the below code is not working. I just need to know the correct way to redirect to the Edit action. Thanks in advance for your help.

You should change your code from the view like this;

HTML

<button type="button" id="Edit" name='Edit' onclick="self.location='@Url.Action("Edit","Account")'"></button>
