I use ajax calls for this
$('.btnSave').on('click', function(){
$.ajax({
url: '@(Url.Action("SavePerson", "Meeting"))',
type: 'post',
data: {
Value1: 'Value1',
Value2: 'Value2'
},
success: function (result) {
alert('Save Successful');
}
});
});
and put the call in a button click or a link click if you want with href = # hopefully this helps.
