jQUERY onclick post

Question

I want to make a POST request to my Controller with jquery.

function Send() {
   $.post("User/Delete/1");
}

<a href="#" onclick="Send()">Delete</a>

It doesn't work, however if i write this code:

<%= Html.ActionLink("Delete", "Delete", new { onclick = "$.post('User/Delete/1')" })%>

it works fine. Unfortunetly i cant use this phrase because i need to call that Send() method from a jQUERY UI dialog too.

Thank you

You missed the leading slash:

 $.post("/User/Delete/1");

You may have better luck binding to the Click event using jQuery, which would require you to be able to identify your link. So lets say you give it an id of postLink, then you could do something like:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("#postLink").click(function() {
        $.post("User/Delete/1");
    });
});
