Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected string in ASP.NET

Question

I have this button code in ASP.NET MVC 5.

In the browser I get this error :

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected string

<input type="button" value="Bid for this project" 
       onclick="location.href'@Url.Action("Create", "Bid", new {projectid = Model.ProjectID})'" />

In browser, button looks like this :

<input type="button" value="Bid for this project" 
       onclick="location.href'/Bid/Create?projectid=1'" />

Can you tell me how to make this right? Thanks.

The string is missing the assignment operator = after the href:

<input type="button" value="Bid for this project" 
 onclick="location.href='@Url.Action("Create", "Bid", new {projectid = Model.ProjectID})'" />

In browser:

<input type="button" value="Bid for this project" onclick="location.href='/Bid/Create?projectid=1'" />

It should work after you add it.

You are missing an = sign

<input type="button" value="Bid for this project" onclick="location.href='@Url.Action("Create", "Bid", new {projectid = Model.ProjectID})'" />

You missed = after href

<input type="button" value="Bid for this project" onclick="location.href= '@Url.Action("Create", "Bid", new {projectid = Model.ProjectID})'" />

As the correct javascript syntax is

location.href= '@Url.Action("Create", "Bid", new {projectid = Model.ProjectID})';
