I try to post textbox value to actionresult in asp mvc

Javascript:

function OnButtonClick() {
    var data= {
        TextBox: TextBox.GetValue()
    };
    var PostData= data.TextBox;

    window.location.href = "Home/MyActionResult?Page=data" + PostData;
}

ActionResult

    return view();
}

Whenever I post data to Home/MyACtionResult , PostData is always null,

• javascript
• asp.net-mvc
• windows
• location
• href

• location.href is a GET, use Ajax – mplungjan Commented Mar 6, 2014 at 20:00
• if i use ajax , i can not change url , i want to use window.location – user3389856 Commented Mar 6, 2014 at 20:02
• Of course you can. Do some research. Jquery history for example. You need to EITHER use Ajax or a form with method post OR change the server to accept a GET – mplungjan Commented Mar 7, 2014 at 6:06
• @user3389856 are you trying to do a POST or a GET? – thepirat000 Commented Mar 7, 2014 at 18:44

Try with this:

window.location.href = "Home/MyActionResult?Page=data&PostData=" + PostData;

Try this

var url = '@Url.Action("../Home/MyActionResult")' + '?Page='+data+'&'+PostData;
window.location.href = url;

This type of passing data is a bad approach. Please try to look into another code approach. This will not work for huge data, urls, secured data.

With window.location.href you can't use POST method. But here is simple trick if you don't want to you GET method.

You can use cookies and then 
function OnButtonClick() {
    setCookie("param1",value1,30);
    setCookie("param2",value2,30); // and so on, fetch input names and values using javascript 
    window.location.href = "Home/MyActionResult"
}

Ofcource you have to include setCookie function as well in your page.
