  jquery.ajax GET vs. POST

  Apr 08, 2012 08:34 AM|LINK

  Hi there,

  I created a web method called dummy for testing purposes, I am using the following ajax code to call that web method -

  function dummy() {
              $.ajax({
                  url: 'services/chatEngine.asmx?op=dummy',
                  async: true,
                  type: "GET",
                  complete: function () { alert('Done'); },
                  success: function (a, b, c) {
                      alert('Success');
                  }
              });
          }

  The above code is working fine, the problem starts if I am using POST instead of GET, then the success function never runs.

  The  dummy web method code follows -

  <WebMethod(True)>
      Public Function dummy(ee As String) As String
          Return ""
      End Function

  Any idea why the ajax call when call type is set to POST never succeed ?

  Cheers

  Hi there,

  I added an error handler to the call which output error 500 Internal server error when run.

  When I change the ajax call type to GET no error occurs.

  Cheers

  Hi again,

  Spending couple of hours I found out that the service class must have <ScriptService()> attribute to enable it to be called from javascript.

  Cheers
