I have the following code which gives me a syntax error - unterminated string constant.I've matched up the quotes can't seem to spot an issue. Any ideas? It works fine, the syntax error is just annoying.

  <input type="button" class="my-button" value="" name="back" onclick="location.href='@Url.Action(Model.Back.Step.ToString(), "MyController")'" />

You can rewrite it like this:

<input type="button" class="my-button" value="" name="back" 
     onclick="@("location.href='" 
        + Url.Action(Model.Back.Step.ToString(), "MyController")  
        + "'")" />
