访问ajax.actionlink“要显示的文本”

Question

if I have an ajax.actionlink

@Ajax.ActionLink("Add Last Name", // <-- Text to display
     "AddTimeSeriesData", // <-- Action Method Name
      etc....
      @id = "link")

how can I access the "text to display" (the link text) in javascript?

I tried

$('#link').innerHTML 

but that didn't work and doesn't seem right... I just tried

console.log($('#link'));

and under innerHTML and innerText I got the same value I'm looking for (the link text) but when I try to do

console.log($('#link').innerHTML); //or innerText

I get "undefined"

Answer 1

Check that you are actually adding the id attribute (you haven't shown the full code so hard to tell if its correct). Should be something like

@Ajax.ActionLink("Add Last Name", "AddTimeSeriesData", null, new AjaxOptions { }, new { ID = "link" })

Then you can access the text with

var displayText = $('#link').text();
