Try using the following on the JavaScript side   window location href     Url Action  Index    Controller       If you want to pass parameters to the  Url Action  you can do this   var reportDate       inputDateId   val     parameter var url     Url Action  Index    Controller   new  dateRequested    findme      window location href   url replace  findme   reportDate

I m going to give you 2 way s to call an action from the client side  first  If you just want to navigate to an action you should call just use the follow   window location     Home Index     youid   Notes  that you action need to handle a get type called  Second  If you need to render a View you could make the called by ajax    this if you want get the html by get public ActionResult Foo         return View      this return the render html        And the client called like this  Assuming that you re using jquery     get  your controller path   parameters to the controler   function callback    or    ajax       type   GET       url   your controller path       data  parameters to the controler     dataType   html       success  your function       or      your selector   load  your controller path      Update  In your ajax called make this change to pass the data to the action  function onDropDownChange e    var url     Home Index     ajax           type   GET           url  url          data    id   e value    lt --sending the values to the server         dataType   html           success   function  data                  put your code here                       UPDATE 2  You cannot do this in your callback  windows location   if you want it s go render a view  you need to put a div in your view and do something like this    in the view where you are that have the combo in some place    lt div id  theNewView  gt   lt  div gt   lt ---you re going to load the other view here   in the javascript client    ajax           type   GET           url  url          data    id   e value    lt --sending the values to the server         dataType   html           success   function  data                   div theNewView   html data                         With this i think that you solve your problem

Within your onDropDownChange handler  just make a jQuery AJAX call  passing in any data you need to pass up to your URL   You can handle successful and failure calls with the success and error options   In the success option  use the data contained in the data argument to do whatever rendering you need to do   Remember these are asynchronous by default   function onDropDownChange e        var url     Home Index     e value        ajax         url  url        data        parameters go here in object literal form       type   GET         datatype   json         success  function data    alert  got here with data             error  function     alert  something bad happened                  jQuery s AJAX documentation is here

Another way to ensure you get the correct url regardless of server settings is to put the url into a hidden field on your page and reference it for the path        lt input type  hidden  id  GetIndexDataPath  value   Url Action  Index   Home      gt    Then you just get the value in your ajax call   var path       GetIndexDataPath   val      ajax           type   GET           url  path          data    id   e value             dataType   html           success   function  data                   div theNewView   html data                         I have been using this for years to cope with server weirdness  as it always builds the correct url  It also makes keeping track of changing controller method calls a breeze if you put all the hidden fields together in one part of the html or make a separate razor partial to hold them
