Use the  Url Action method  This will work and determines the correct route regardless of what IIS server you deploy to   Example- window location href   Url Action  Action    Controller      so in the case of the Index action on the Home controller - window location href   Url Action  Index    Home

Maybe better to make an anchor with DeleteJob url instead of button    lt a href   lt   Url Action  DeleteJob    YourController   new  selectedObject  someObject     gt   onclick  return DeleteJob    gt L  schen lt  a gt    and use your javascript you wrote already   function DeleteJob              if  confirm  Do you really want to delete selected job s                 return true          else             return false          So if function return true - you will be redirected  If function return false - you still stay on the page

I wish that I could just comment on yojimbo87 s answer to post this  but I don t have enough reputation to comment yet   It was pointed out that this relative path only works from the root           window location href      controller   action   params      Just wanted to confirm that you can use  Url Content to provide the absolute path   function DeleteJob         if  confirm  Do you really want to delete selected job s             window location href     Url Content     controller   action   params          else         return false
