Putting HTML Inside HTML.Actionlink(), Plus No Link Text

Putting HTML inside Html.ActionLink(), plus No Link Text?

Instead of using Html.ActionLink you can render a url via Url.Action

<a href="<%= Url.Action("Index", "Home") %>"><span>Text</span></a>
<a href="@Url.Action("Index", "Home")"><span>Text</span></a>

And to do a blank url you could have

<a href="<%= Url.Action("Index", "Home") %>"></a>
<a href="@Url.Action("Index", "Home")"></a>

Using HTML tags inside linkText of Html.ActionLink

No; it's not possible.

You need to manually write an <a> tag.

Html.ActionLink as a button or an image, not a link

Late response but you could just keep it simple and apply a CSS class to the htmlAttributes object.

<%= Html.ActionLink("Button Name", "Index", null, new { @class="classname" }) %>

and then create a class in your stylesheet

a.classname
{
    background: url(../Images/image.gif) no-repeat top left;
     display: block;
     width: 150px;
     height: 150px;
     text-indent: -9999px; /* hides the link text */
}

Create an ActionLink with HTML elements in the link text

You could use Url.Action to build the link for you:

<a href="<% =Url.Action("Action", "Controller")%>">link text <span>with further blablah</span></a>

or use Html.BuildUrlFromExpression:

<a href="<% =Html.BuildUrlFromExpression<Controller>(c => c.Action()) %>">text <span>text</span></a>

ASP MVC3 insert html tag inside actionlink

Use @Url.Action() to get href value instead of @Html.ActionLink

ActionLink italics certain portion

As far as Html.ActionLink() just render <a href=".."></a> tag maby that's not the best way to achive your goal.

I belive in your case it's better to use Url.Action() helper like this:

<a href="@Url.Action("Vtd", "Crs", new { Text= Html.Encode("How it works"}, null })">
    How do <i>This</i>
</a>

Using the URL.Action instead of an action link you have more control over the contents.

</a>
