I am trying to get user input in button click.
When user insert number and press Check, it needs to return xml data type.
So in my controller I create function which will return a data for passing ID

[ResponseType(typeof(AKONTA))]

        public IHttpActionResult GetAKONTA(string id)

        {

            AKONTA aKONTA = db.AKONTAS.Find(id);

            if (aKONTA == null)

            {

                return BadRequest(Ne postoji A_KONTO pod tim rednim brojem);

            }



            return Ok(aKONTA);

        }

And In my View I have following

<br /><br />

<form>

    <div class=form-group>

        <label>A_KONTO</label>

        <input type=text class=form-control aria-describedby=AKONTO BROJ placeholder=Unesite broj AKONOTO>

    </div>



    <div class=form-group>

        <a asp-action=Index class=btn btn-primary id=aKonto [email protected](GetAKONTA, Akontas)>Provjeri</a>

    </div>

</form>

And I want to create in btn click when user pass ID it needs to return XML data format.

SO far I create a JS function, but I don't know JavaScript and don't know the logic how to pass Controller Action Result to JS.

  <script>

        $(document).ready(function () {

            $('#aKonto').click(function () {

                document.getElementById(aKonto).onclick = function () {GetAKONTA()};;

            });

        });

    </script>

If someone can help me I would be very thankful.
Cheers !

UPDATE

function aKontoSubmit() {

            $.ajax({

                type: GET,

                url: 'api/Akontas',

                //data: { id: id },

                dataType: xml,

                success: function (result) {

                    // action to do after form submit

                },

                error: function () {

                    alert(Ne postoji AKONTO pod tim rednim brojem);

                }



            });

        }



**routeConfig**



using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Linq;

using System.Web;

using System.Web.Mvc;

using System.Web.Routing;



namespace AkontasWebApi

{

    public class RouteConfig

    {

        public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)

        {

            routes.IgnoreRoute({resource}.axd/{*pathInfo});





            routes.MapRoute(

                name: Default,

                url: {controller}/{action}/{id},

                defaults: new { controller = Home, action = Index, id = UrlParameter.Optional }

            );

        }

    }
