asp.net core <a asp-controller="" asp-action=""/> run from jquery

Question

Net Core Mvc 6

I have a Menu like this

<li class="active nav-item h5"><a class="nav-link link-light aEmployer" asp-controller="Employer" asp-action="Index">Employer Setup</a></li>

That returns a View

I need to call this from Ajax.

I sow this and what it says to do

$.ajax({
    // edit to add steve's suggestion.
    //url: "/ControllerName/ActionName",
    url: '<%= Url.Action("ActionName", "ControllerName") %>',
    success: function(data) {
         alert(data);
    }
});

But in this case, it returns a PartialView.

What I need is to return a View.. the same View that is returned when the user click the Option Menu.

What I need is something like ('aa').click() but it does not work in this case...

It is a way to call it?

Thanks

Can you please explain what you are trying to achieve? Do you want to call an action that returns a PartialView using ajax and then display the PartialView? — Dimitris Maragkos

Set the id attribute of your anchor element:

<a id="employer-setup-link" class="nav-link link-light aEmployer" asp-controller="Employer" asp-action="Index">Employer Setup</a>

And then you can do:

document.getElementById('employer-setup-link').click();

You can also try:

window.location.href = document.getElementById('employer-setup-link').getAttribute('href');
