Java Script to MVC: Controller Variable Passing via Actionlink

Question

Using: vs'12 Razor asp.net MVC4 Internet App Template EF Code First

My Actionlink that i am trying to manipulate

@Html.ActionLink("Download", "ShowOpenAcreageSummaryReport", new { controller = "DataToExcel" }, new { id = "AddData" })

The script to attempt this

$('#AddData').click(function (e) {

var optVal = $("#OptionsDrop").val();
var Xpro = $("#Prospects").val()
var Xcnty = $("#Countys").val()
var Xtwn = $("#TownShips").val()
var Xrng = $("#Ranges").val()
var Xsct = $("#Sections").val()


    var href = "/DataToExcel/ShowLPRStandardLeaseReport/" + Xpro + Xcnty + Xtwn + Xrng + Xsct;
    this.href = ""; //clears out old href for reuse
    this.href = href; //changes href value to currently slected dropdown value

}

The actionResult to accept these passed values

public ActionResult ShowLPRStandardLeaseReport(string pro, string cnty, string twn, string rng, string sec)

Now i know this works with 1 variable as i have this code running on another page, however it won't work with multiple.

I have also tried adding + "/" + between the Variables, which had no effect on the outcome.

How can i change my code to be able to pass all variables??

Have you tried with GET parameters such as some-url/?param1=test&param2=test2 ? Also note that this points to the #AddData element in the click handler. If you want to change the current location, use window.location.href = 'someurl'; — plalx

I just now attempted + Xpro + "&" + "cnty=" + Xcnty + "&" + "twn=" + Xtwn + "&" + "rng=" + Xrng + "&" + "sec=" + Xsct; but without the "?" let me add this — Pakk

The ? is necessary to indicate the start of the query string parameters.

Also note that you should be encoding the values with encodeURIComponent to make sure that you are producing a valid URL.
