In my main navigation I have a link to:
Url.Action(\"Items\", \"FAQ\");
The link works fine and I get to ~/Item/FAQ
However
I tried the answer but couldn't get it to work. In the end, I used a (comparatively) low tech solution:
<a href="@Url.Content("~/Items/FAQ")">Nav Target Text</a>
This ignores any id values set by visiting that same page.
Url.Action("Items", "FAQ", new { WhateverYourRouteParameterIsCalled = "" })
