Answer 1

you need to use the htmlAttributes anonymous object, like this:

<%= Html.ActionLink("linky", "action", "controller", new { onclick = "someFunction();"}) %> 

you could also give it an id an attach to it with jquery/whatever, like this:

<%= Html.ActionLink("linky", "action", "controller", new { id = "myLink" }) %>   $('#myLink').click(function() { /* bla */ }); 

Answer 2

For calling javascript in your action link you simply need to write actionlink like this:

@Html.ActionLink("Delete", "Your-Action", new { id = item.id },                  new { onclick="return confirm('Are you sure?');"}) 

Don't get confused between route values and the html attributes.
