Input button in MVC asp.net

Question

How to use Input button for @Html.ActionLink?

In my cshtml I have this code:

<div>
  @Html.ActionLink("Back to menu", "HomeController")
</div>

Now I whant to use instead hyperlink button (Back to menu), input submit button, so this button:

<input class="btn" type="submit" value="Back to menu">

Thanks.

You can't - you can use css so the link will look like button, or you can utilize Url.Action and javascript instead. I.E.:

<input class="btn" type="submit" value="Back to menu" onclick="window.location='@Url.Action("Index", "Home")';return false" />

Between '@Url.Action("Registration", "LoginController")'; shows Syntax error and return false underline with red color. If I remove qutes ' ' return false become ok (blue), but then ..tion=@ underline equal (=) and shows syntax error... – Daniel K Rudolf_mag Apr 28 '14 at 07:19
I'm not sure in what context you used that (for example I don't have semicolon - ';' at the end). – Ondrej Svejdar Apr 28 '14 at 07:26
I write like this: inside = shows Syntax error – Daniel K Rudolf_mag Apr 28 '14 at 07:31

Ok, I solved it, Ondrej Svejdar thanks for advice, I use javascript and works fine:

<input class="someCss" type="button" value="Back to Edit Menu" onclick="Redirect()"/>

And under button I use this javascript:

<script type="text/javascript">
    function Redirect() {
        var url = "@Url.Action("Registration")";
        location.href = url;
    }
</script>

So result is:

Code blocks on their own are not usually useful answers. Please explain what the code you're showing does, and why/how that code answers the question. – Lea Cohen Jan 27 '15 at 08:17
