You need to quote the string like this:

<a href="#" onclick="Edit('@Interest');">edit</a>

it`s firing error with Edit('@Interest'); error CS0165: Use of unassigned local variable 'Interest'

The compiler is probably right - assign a value before using the variable.

If you want to call a method e.g. @Url.Action("test") for an action link, then you have to use it like:

<a href='@(Url.Action("test"))'>test</a>

Otherwise korchev's solution is right.
