Use anchor tag for calling an Action

You want an anchor, but the suggested code doesn't work. Try this way (it worked for me):

<a onclick="location.href='@Url.Action("ActionName")'">Something</a><br />

It will work this way, but you will not have the hand, when you hover the link. So just add href="#", like that:

<a href="#" onclick="location.href='@Url.Action("ActionName")'">Something</a><br />

Use @Html.ActionLink("Something", "ActionName", "ControllerName") without the <a> tag. It's generated automatically
