MVC update data in an index view

I have an index view listing a bunch of information, example:

@foreach (var item in Model)
{
    <tr>
        <td>
            @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.FullName)
        </td>

        <td>
            @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.OptIn)
        </td>
        <td>
            @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Donation)
        </td>
        <td>
            @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Attended)
        </td>
        <td>
            @Html.ActionLink("Add One", "Check", new { id = item.ID }, new { @class = "btn btn-primary btn-default" })
        </td>
        <td>
            @Html.ActionLink("Edit", "Edit", new { id = item.ID }) |
            @Html.ActionLink("Details", "Details", new { id = item.ID }) |
            @Html.ActionLink("Delete", "Delete", new { id = item.ID })
        </td>
    </tr>
}

I want to set up an ADD ONE button here. Notice the line above that says:

<td>
    @Html.ActionLink("Add One", "Check", new { id = item.ID }, new { @class = "btn btn-primary btn-default" })
</td>

This is easy If I go to another controller/view however I want to stay in the index view. I built a CHECK controller action result as follows:

public ActionResult Check(int? id)
//[Bind(Include = "ID, Attended")]
{
    if (id == null)
    {
        return new HttpStatusCodeResult(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest);
    }
    Guest guest = db.Guests.Find(id);
    guest.Attended = (guest.Attended + 1);
    if (ModelState.IsValid)
    {
        db.Entry(guest).State = EntityState.Modified;
        db.SaveChanges();
        return RedirectToAction("Index");
    }

    return RedirectToAction("Edit/" + id);
}

This is not working. The page doesn't crash, but it is not doing anything. I am guessing maybe I need to use JQUERY for this? I havent learned JQUERY yet so I'm trying to avoid that. Has anyone accomplished something like this before? I think I'm on the right track but I am stuck at this point....

Make sure JQuery library is added then create script like : $(window).load(function () { var data = $('#yourInputId').val();

               $.ajax({
                url: "http://" + location.host + "/CTRL/ACTION",
                type: "POST",
                data: { 'deleteId': data },
            }).done(function (data) {
                your logic here if server;
            }).fail(function (err) {
                alert(err.statusText);
            });
});
