Html.ActionLink Image button

Question

I am using MVC 3, ASPX pages. I am trying to make an image button for ActionLink: This one works well:

   <%: Html.ActionLink("New", "AccessCode", null, new { @class = "but_add" })%>

but this one did not work!!

  <%: Html.ActionLink("New", "Create", "CourseChapters", 
              new { courseId = ViewData["TestId"], @class = "but_add" }, "")%>

I have the class in my style sheet

.but_add
{
    background-image: url('../../Content/images/b_add.gif');
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    width: 85px;
    height: 27px;
    padding-left: 27px;
    cursor: pointer;
    display: inline-block;
    padding-top: 5px;
}

You are passing your html attributes and routeValues as part of the same object. Should be:

    public static MvcHtmlString ActionLink(this HtmlHelper htmlHelper, string linkText, string actionName, string controllerName, object routeValues, object htmlAttributes);

Most people create an Ajax.ImageActionLink helper, but in some cases it's more appropriate to use an Html.ImageActionLink helper like the one here:
