HTML button calling an MVC Controller and Action method

<button type="button" onclick="location.href='@Url.Action("MyAction", "MyController")'" />

type="button" prevents page from submitting, instead it performs your action.

No need to use a form at all unless you want to post to the action. An input button (not submit) will do the trick.

  <input type="button"
         value="Go Somewhere Else"
         onclick="location.href='<%: Url.Action("Action", "Controller") %>'" />

Razor syntax is here:

<input type="button" value="Create" onclick="location.href='@Url.Action("Create", "User")'" />
