MVC :: Title Attribute In Rendering Link With Html.ActionLink?
Mar 6, 2011In keeping with the SEO friendly nature of MVC, shouldn't there be a way to designate the 'title' attribute when building an ActionLink?
View 6 RepliesIn keeping with the SEO friendly nature of MVC, shouldn't there be a way to designate the 'title' attribute when building an ActionLink?
View 6 RepliesI have a Microsoft MVC project with an action "Foo" whose view ("Foo.aspx") contains the lines:
<%= Html.ActionLink("mylinktext1", "bar") %>
<%= Html.ActionLink<MyController>(x => x.Bar(), "mylinktext2") %>
When I hit this from a web browser or load it from an AJAX call, it properly returns:
<a href="/bar">mylinktext1</a>
<a href="/Bar">mylinktext2</a>
But when I call the action from another view like this:
<% Html.RenderAction<MyController>(x => x.Foo()); %>
Then the links are rendered without targets.
<a href="">mylinktext1</a>
<a href="">mylinktext2</a>
Why would this be happening, and how do I work around it?
I've been tryin to find an example of the syntax for getting an html 'title' for a string when using Html.Encode(). I want to display the full name in the mouseover title, if it's too long.
Is there a way to do this without wrapping the string in a < span >, i.e.
<span title = "<%=Html.Encode(model.Name) %>"> //displays the full name on mouseover
<%=Html.Encode(model.Name.Substring(0, 10))%>... //displays the name up to a max length
</span>
Or should I just do it this way?
It doesn't seem that the Html.CheckBoxFor helper adds the correct "checked" attribute when rendering the HTML. I have a bool property rendered like so:
<%= Html.CheckBoxFor(m => m.Visible) %>
And the outputted HTML is this:
<input type="checkbox" value="true" name="Visible" id="Visible">
Is there some particular reason it does not add the "checked" attribute when the value is true?
I have a route (the first one listed) which looks like this:
routes.MapRoute(
"TopicRoute", // Route name
"forums/{forumSlug}/{topicSlug}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Forums", action = "Topic"} // Parameter defaults
);
I can browse to: /forums/my-forum/my-topic and the page loads fine. Yet I have a Html.ActionLink that looks like: @Html.ActionLink(item.Title, "Topic", new { forumSlug ="my-forum", topicSlug = "my-topic" }) And it won't generate the correct link syntax for me? It generates: <a href="">My Topic</a>
I have a SiteMapPath control and instead of default functionality like
Home > Accounts > User Account
where "User Account" refers to ~/UserAccount.aspx
I would like to overwrite the last node to show info about a current user, i.e.:
Home > Accounts > John White and "John White" refers to ~/UserAccount.aspx?id=111 ?
I'm using webforms ASP.NET, with masterpages. I want to add a LANG attribute to the <title> tag. ASP.NET automatically generates a title tag. I've tried adding my own tag with an ID and runat="server", like this:
<title id="titleBlock" runat="server"></title>
When doing this, I can set an attribute like the following without any errors.
titleBlock.Attributes.Add("lang", "it");
However, ASP.NET wipes out my <title> tag completely and puts its own in without my LANG attribute. Is there any way to accomplish this?
I can't seem to get rid of this extra space in IE7. (IE8 I could, but I need to support IE7) The grey area is the same size as the blue area... If I align the title to "bottom" then I get the full size of the grey area above the title. Align to "top" and the grey area is below the blue. Usign the default, the grey area is split above and below as indicated int he screenshot.
How can i get rid of the grey? I just want the blue area. I've tried setting hte title height to 0px, but that does nothing. But if I set the height to something large, such as 200px, then I get 200px of blue and 200px of grey.
I've got problem with generating ajax anchors. I'm using simple
Ajax.ActionLink("test", "Test", new AjaxOptions { UpdateTargetId="test", HttpMethod="GET" }) and the generated markup is:
<a data-ajax="true" data-ajax-method="GET" data-ajax-mode="replace" data-ajax-update="#test" href="/Home/Test">test</a>
which, obviously lacks the onclick="Sys.Mvc.AsyncHyperlink.handleClick(...)" attribute.
Is possible to set the title attibute on the image buttons of a commandfield?
<asp:CommandField ShowDeleteButton="True" ButtonType="Image" ShowEditButton="True"
DeleteImageUrl="images/BPAnn.gif" EditImageUrl="images/edit.gif" DeleteText="Elimina" EditText="Modifica"
UpdateImageUrl="images/apply.gif" CancelImageUrl="images/undo.gif" />
iwanna find img tag that has not ALT and TITLE attribute. and then append to img tag alt and title. how i can do that?
View 8 Replieshow to add the "title" attribute to the AJAX cascadingdropdownmenu?
DropDownList1.Items.Add("1");DropDownList1.Items[0].Attributes.Add("Title", "Some1");DropDownList1.Items.Add("2");DropDownList1.Items[1].Attributes.Add("Title", "Some2");DropDownList1.Items.Add("3");DropDownList1.Items[2].Attributes.Add("Title", "Some3");
I am developing a page that has an image element that has its source set to an action on a controller (e.g., "/controller/action". The problem that I am having is that I don't see a built in way to generate a URL (i.e., like an ActionLink's URL) without manually constructing one. At the moment, I am manually constructing the URL, but I want to move away from this. Before I write my own helper method, I thought I would check to see if one it already available. Does such a method exist?
BTW, this is using MVC2, VS 2010.
Im using the HTML.TreeView to render my code structure like this :
<%= Html.TreeView("CategoryTree",
Model.CategoryList,
l => l.ChildList,
l => l.Name + " / <a id="treeLnk" + l.Id + "" href="JavaScript: OpenAddDialog('" + l.Name + "', " + l.Id + ") " title="Lägg till" >Lägg till</a>" +
" / <a id="treeLnk" + l.Id + "" href="JavaScript: OpenChangeNameDialog('" + l.Name + "', " + l.Id + ") " title="Ändra namn" >Ändra namn</a>" +
" / <a id="treeLnk" + l.Id + "" href="JavaScript: OpenDeleteDialog('" + l.Name + "', " + l.Id + ") " title="Tabort" >Tabort</a>") %>
This work fine, but now I need to include a action that redirects to another controlleraction.
I have tried to ad a Html.ActionLink but this does not work?
how could someone get the result of:

using Html.ActionLink<>?
By default, links are created without the forward slash suffixed to the end. It is per our company standards to always have this trailing slash. Is it possible, via a configuration or whatever, to automatically have a forward slash whenever these methods are called?
View 2 RepliesHtml.ActionLink("<span class="title">Retry</span><span class="arrow"></span>", "Login", "User")
If I execute above code in ASP.Net MVC 2, I get the following output on my screen:
How do I disable the escaping of the code, so my span is within the ActionLink, and not displayed as output?
I know this is expected behavior, to keep it safe, but I want it to interpret the HTML code I pass as a parameter.
I wish to return the following output
<a href="#"><img src="/images/icons/tick.png" alt="" />More info</a>
If i do the following the content is html encoded.
<%= Html.ActionLink("<img src='/images/icons/tick.png' />More info", "OrderRegion", "Campaign", new {id = Model.Campaign.Id}, null) %>
How can i disable the html encoding?
I have a table, there is a column for "edit links" - i'd like to render a partial view under the table via JQuery - but i think i'm missing a step:
Heres the html:[Code]....
I hardcode the link and make it call the "editCloset" js function, hopefully thatll call my Controller, thatll build the ViewModel, and return the View that uses it - so it can be rendered in the PartialView contained in div id="Slots"Right now - im not able to get into the controller, so i missing something i think Heres the controller:
[Code]....
And heres the partial view "_ManageSlots"

I'm pretty new to ASP.Net / MVC 2. Can anyone explain how to use the Html.ActionLink thing? I understand that the first parameter is the displayed text, but for the second one, what is the action name?
View 1 RepliesI have an ActionLink: <%: Html.ActionLink("MyAction", "MyAction") %> I would like to use a button instead. Something like this: <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="MyAction" /> What do I need to do to make clicking the button perform the same action as clicking the ActionLink?
View 1 RepliesI'm showing a small table with a list of usernames, and I want an ActionLink next to each username to Edit the user on another page.

The usernames display correctly, just the link doesn't show up. I'm not sure why it wouldn't throw an error instead.What am I missing here?
I will like to achieve the following html using Html.ActionLink:
<li><a href="/WhatWeDo/JohnDoe">John Doe</a>President</li>
The name "John Doe" and title "President" will be coming from a staff model. This is what I have:
<% foreach (var item in Model as IEnumerable<AkwiMemorial.Models.Staff>)
{ %>
<li><%= Html.ActionLink(item.Name, "GetStaffDetails", "WhatWeDo", new { staffID = item.Id }, null) %> item.Position</li>
<% } %>
Instead of rendering "item.Position" literally, I will like this string extracted from the model.

I was reading the ASP.NET MVC Best Practices article by Rashid, and got stuck in his description of creating UrlHelper extensions. Doing this is easy enough, and I've adopted the practice into all of my projects. I noticed, however, that Rashid used Url.Content to generate the url for the home page, and Url.RouteUrl for all the other urls. Why is this? What is the difference between the two?
The link to the blog post is here:
http://weblogs.asp.net/rashid/archive/2009/04/01/asp-net-mvc-best-practices-part-1.aspx
I've used Html.ActionLink in my Views, but I'm wondering what difference it would be if I used Url.RouteUrl instead. Does anyone have a good grasp of what makes these helpers different, and where they are best used?
