If you don't want to use any javascript you could create a simple form containing the textbox and a submit image button:

<% using (Html.BeginForm()) { %>
    <%= Html.TextBoxFor(x => x.TxtSearch) %>
    <input type="image" alt="searchPage" style="vertical-align: middle;" height="17px" src="../../Stylesheets/search.PNG" title="search" />
<% } %>

or if your view is not strongly typed as it should be you could use the following helper to generate the textbox:

<%= Html.TextBox("TxtSearch") %>

If I understand your question correctly you were looking for a way to POST data to a given controller action without using javascript. If this is not the case try explaining better what is your goal. $.post is used to send an AJAX request. Is this what you are after?
