@Html.RenderAction and CSS

Question

How do I apply a class to the following so that I can apply a specific css style to it?

The rest of the consist of anchor tags so I can easily apply a class but where do I stick it on this @Html.RenderAction?????

<li>@{Html.RenderAction("CartSummary", "ShoppingCart");}</li>

Answer 1

RenderAction does not support passing in an object containing html attributes, like most other MVC helper methods do, so you cannot apply a css class directly using this method. Either you can wrap the output of RenderAction in a div with your css class from the parent view, or you can add a wrapper div to the output of the action itself.

Answer 2

RenderAction will output a PartialView so I guess your class attribute should be put in the view (the one you call from the method CartSummary in ShoppingCartController) or inside the <li> that call it (maybe with a DIV)

Answer 3

Why u don't want to use <a href="@Url.Action("index", "shoppingcart")" class="@yourClass" id="yourId">Cart (@ViewBag.CartCount)</a>

Be simple.
