Dear All,
When I add a css class to my ActionLink HTML helper in my application it doesn't navigate to the specified url but When I remove the css class it works perfect how can have a CSS class to go along with HTML.ActionLink?

Following is my code:
1) When I write the below code it works perfect.

HTML

@Html.ActionLink("ICD9s", "Index", "EHR")

2) When I write the below code it doesn't navigate to the specified url.

HTML

@Html.ActionLink("ICD9s", "Index", "EHR", new { @class = "linkbtnfull"})

Thanks

Try this.....

@Html.ActionLink("Link Name",
"ActionName",
"ControllerName",
null,
new { @class = "linkbtnfull" }
)

you code should be,

@Html.ActionLink("ICD9s", "Index", "EHR", null,new { @class="linkbtnfull"})

Hi,

Try to use _class="linkbtnfull" instead of @class = "linkbtnfull"

you code should be,

@Html.ActionLink("ICD9s", "Index", "EHR", new { _class = "linkbtnfull"})

hope this works for you........

Nischal Bhatt 8-Jul-14 8:25am

Following is my "linkbtnfull" css class
.linkbtnfull {
background: url("../images/green-btn.png") repeat-x scroll center top rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
border: medium none;
border-radius: 3px;
color: #ffffff;
display: inline-block;
font-family: 'open_sansregular';
line-height: 33px;
text-align: center;
width: 100%;
}

Solution 5

Please try this
@Html.ActionLink("Create New", "Create", new { }, new { @class = "btn btn-success" })

You must get a blank new{}.

It is working for me.

Doesn't really add anything to the previous solutions "blank new{}" is null as already stated

Works for me....

Specify which type of error occurs or what happens when you click the link.
I have below format for writing action link which is working :

C#

@Html.ActionLink("ICD9s", "Index", "EHR", null,new { @class="round"})

@Html.ActionLink("ICD9s", "Index", new { Controller = "EHR" },new { @class="round"})

Hey! Arvind,
@Html.ActionLink("ICD9s", "Index", "EHR", null,new { @class="round"}) did the trick man.
Thanks.

Actually there is no method with following 3 parameters
@Html.ActionLink("ICD9s", "Index", "EHR", new { @class = "linkbtnfull"})
try this one

@Html.ActionLink("ICD9s", "Index", "EHR",null, new { @class = "linkbtnfull"})
