I have java script function 

   function SetTextBoxValue(data) {
        $('#text_box').val($(this).val("myField"))

    };

Is it possible, and how, to call only this function, WITHOUT controller and action names from @Html.ActionLink() in razor view?

To extend a question, i have table and a form with 4 text boxes on same view. I need to fill one textbox with a value of a specific column in table when user click on link in that column.

The script does not make sense (what is $(this) in the context of the function?). Show the html and indicate what your trying to do. –  Stephen Muecke Oct 27 '14 at 1:44
    
$(this) is @html.actionlink defined as " @Html.ActionLink(modelItem.myfield, "controller", "action" new { OnClick = "SetTextBoxValue()" })" –  onedevteam.com Oct 27 '14 at 1:48
    
No its not.$(this) would be Window. I think your going about this the wrong way. Post some html so it clearer what your trying to do. –  Stephen Muecke Oct 27 '14 at 1:58
    
Why use Html.Actionlink if you only need js code to execute? –  David Tansey Oct 27 '14 at 2:19

try this :

@Html.ActionLink("LinkText", "#", "", null, new { onclick="SetTextBoxValue('mydata')" });

Hope this helps.

Actually, you have to do it as onclick="return SetTextBoxValue('mydate')" –  Dean.DePue May 8 at 10:19
