jqueryui button click not working with url.action

Question

I am using a jqueryui button in my shared/_layout.cshtml for the login button. Below is the code for the click event. On clicking the button, I want the user to be transferred to the Logon view of the Account controller.

    $("#btnSignIn").click(function () {
            //alert("This is button on click event.");
            top.location.href = '<%= Url.Action("Logon", "Account"); %>'
        });

When debugging, I get the following error. I have looked around in SO for help for this. enter image description here

This is strange. If it's your _layout.cshtml, then you are using Razor.

For Razor, it should be:

$("#btnSignIn").click(function () {
        //alert("This is button on click event.");
        top.location.href = '@Url.Action("Logon", "Account")';
 });
