In my MVC4 login view, I have several sections defined:

  • login - /User/Login#login or - /User/Login
  • register - /User/Login#register
  • lostpassword - - /User/Login#lostpassword

The JS on the page picks up the right form area to present.

Everything works fine for login - validation, etc. However if the registration fails, how do I return to the view with the added #register parameter?

-- Update -- I forgot to mention that this is from a controller and all validation errors need to be passed back to it. So, return Redirect("...") doesn't work

  • @Shad - Thanks but see my update. Need to do this from a controller action. – ElHaix Nov 17 '13 at 20:53

    Why not make it as a parameter ie. /User/Login/Register then map the route in your RouteRegistrar – Raymund Nov 17 '13 at 21:01
  • @Raymund - while that's a good idea, the route is `url: "User/Login#registerform"` , but the hashtag gets URL encoded. – ElHaix Nov 17 '13 at 22:00

The following does the trick

return Redirect(Url.Action("Login", "User") + "#registerform");

URL is ~/Login/User#registerform.

This way will work: 

return RedirectToAction("NewAction", new { 
     id = model.Id, 
     registerParam = model.registerId
});

PS: If New Action fails you can do the same thing back to the current action method, with some error parameter.
