What does this have to do with jQuery? Also you can't hide the parameters of a GET. You could instead change your code to use POST request. — Rory McCrossan

You could use TempData for this:

TempData["FileId"] = "bla";

//this will make sure the data is kept when the user refreshes the page    
TempData.Keep();
RedirectToAction("WebDocumentViewer", "WebFileViewer");

then in WebDocumentViewer retrieve the value of TempData["FileId"].

You won't have to make any changes to your RouteConfig.cs file.

And what about when the user refreshes the browser?
