                    data: jsonData,
                    sortOrder: 'name',
                    maxResults: false
                });
                $('#Register').click(function () {
                    debugger;
                    var dataplus = ms1.getValue();
                    var tagid = document.getElementById('TagId').value;
                    var tagtitle = document.getElementById('TagTitle').value;

                        type: 'POST',
                        cache: false,
                        success: function (data) {

                        }

                    });
                });

                $('#click').click(function () {
                    debugger;
                    alert(ms1.getValue());

                });

        </script>    

        [HttpPost]
        public ActionResult GetPost(Profile model)
        {
            SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(conn);
            con.Open();
            string tagid = Request.Params["tagid"];
            string tagtitle = Request.Params["tagtitle"];
            string tagcontent = Request.Params["tagcontent"];
            SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("CreatePostDetail", con);
            cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
            cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@TagId", tagid);
            cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@TagContent", tagcontent);
            cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@TagTitle", tagtitle);
            //string name = Session["UserName"].ToString();
            string name = "123";
            cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@UserName", name);
            cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
            con.Close();
            return View("Index");
        }

so if user clicks the save button it will goes to the controller

[HttpPost]
        public ActionResult GetPost(Profile model)
        {
            SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(conn);
            con.Open();
            string tagid = Request.Params["tagid"];
            string tagtitle = Request.Params["tagtitle"];
            string tagcontent = Request.Params["tagcontent"];
            SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("CreatePostDetail", con);
            cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
            cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@TagId", tagid);
            cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@TagContent", tagcontent);
            cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@TagTitle", tagtitle);
            //string name = Session["UserName"].ToString();
            string name = "123";
            cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@UserName", name);
            cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
            con.Close();
            return View("Index");
        }

i return the index so that the added content ill display in the Main page but it remains in the post view alone but data saved in database. (simple way From actionlink(post) -->load new view from that again loading the home page but it remains in the post view ).

Answer 1

Make a container div in your main View:

@model List<MuthuTag.Models.LoadPostModel>
@{
    ViewBag.Title = "LoadPost";
}

@Html.ActionLink("Add New Post","Post","Home")

<h2>LoadPost</h2>
<div>
    <table>
       @foreach (var Item in Model)
       {
        <tr>
            <td>
               @Item.TagId
            </td>
            <td>
                @Item.TagTitle
            </td>
            <td>@Item.TagContent</td>
        </tr>
       }
    </table>
</div>
<div id="container">
</div>

and in your ajax call success function do this:

$.ajax({
         url: '@Url.Action("GetPost")' + '?tagid=' + tagid + '&tagtitle=' + tagtitle + '&tagcontent=' + tagcontent + '&dataplus=' + dataplus,
         type: 'POST',
         cache: false,
         success: function (data) {

         $('#container').html(data);

          }

       });

Answer 2

As specified in this stack overflow answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/12006362/3541042 you can send the redirection url back to the ajax call back and navigate to that URL.

If the url is static, you can directly do it from java script itself as shown below.

$('#Register').click(function () {
    debugger;
    var dataplus = ms1.getValue();
    var tagid = document.getElementById('TagId').value;
    var tagtitle = document.getElementById('TagTitle').value;
    var tagcontent = document.getElementById('TagContent').value;
    $.ajax({
        url: '@Url.Action("GetPost")' + '?tagid=' + tagid + '&tagtitle=' + tagtitle + '&tagcontent=' + tagcontent + '&dataplus=' + dataplus,
        type: 'POST',
        cache: false,
        success: function (data) {
           window.location.href = '@Url.Action("Index", "<controller name>")';
        }
    });
});
