I am writing an MVC ASP.NET based website, and I want to create a ActionLink that deletes the current entity. For search engine reasons, I don't want this link to be able to be followed (else all my data is gone!), unless a user, via jQuery, confirms the action. For the confirmation, I can use something like:

 

[html]

<a href="" id="delete">Delete this entity</a>

 

[js]

$( function() {
  $('#delete').click(function() {
     return confirm('Confirm Delete?');
  });
});

 

but I am not sure how to follow a URL once the confirmation is done. What I would like to do is something like this:

 

$( function() {
  $('#delete').click(function() {
     if (confirm('Confirm Delete?')) {

       GoToUrl('someURL');

     }
  });
});

 

What is the best way to do this? Should I submit a form or is there a navigate method that I missed?

 

Thanks!
