Answer 1

If you want to call an action from your JavaScript, one way is to embed your JavaScript code, inside your view (.cshtml file for example), and then, use Razor, to create a URL of that action:

$(function(){
    $('#sampleDiv').click(function(){
        /*
         While this code is JavaScript, but because it's embedded inside
         a cshtml file, we can use Razor, and create the URL of the action

         Don't forget to add '' around the url because it has to become a     
         valid string in the final webpage
        */

        var url = '@Url.Action("ActionName", "Controller")';
    });
});
