Hello Everyone,

i have following two routes registered in my global.asax file

routes.MapRoute(
    "strict",
    "{controller}.mvc/{docid}/{action}/{id}",
    new { action = "Index", id = "", docid = "" },
    new { docid = @"\d+"}
);
routes.MapRoute(
    "default",
    "{controller}.mvc/{action}/{id}",
    new { action = "Index", id = "" },
    new { docConstraint = new DocumentConstraint() }
);

and i have a static "dashboard" link in my tabstrip and some other links that are constructed from values in db here is the code

 <ul id="globalnav" class = "t-reset t-tabstrip-items">
     <li class="bar" id = "dashboard">
         <%=Html.ActionLink("dash.board", "Index", pck.Controller,  new{docid =string.Empty,id = pck.PkgID }, new { @class = "here" })%>
     </li>
     <%  
         foreach (var md in pck.sysModules)
         {
     %>
     <li class="<%=liClass%>">
         <%=Html.ActionLink(md.ModuleName, md.ActionName, pck.Controller, new { docid = md.DocumentID}, new { @class = cls })%>
     </li>
     <%
         }
     %>
 </ul>

Now my launching address is localhost/oa.mvc/index/11 clearly matching the 2nd route. but when i visit any page that has mapped to first route and then come back to dash.board link it shows me localhost/oa.mvc/7/index/11 where 7 is docid and picked from previous Url. now i understand that my action method is after docid and changing it would not clear the docid. my question here is that can i remove docid in this scenario without changing the route. regards
