Question

I am calling a web method from jquery, It does some database stuff correctly, then it should return a string. And in Jquery, I want to get that returned string and display it in a Panel object. But I cannot get the string and cannot display it in the Panel

NOTE: The way I am accessing the Panel is correct. this works $(‘#<%=pnl_poll_result.ClientID %>’).text(“some string”);

here is the code,

 $.ajax({
                    type: "POST",
                    url: "ViewPost.aspx/insert_post_poll_selections",
                    data: "{'ProfessionalId':'1','choice_id':'" + $('#<%=rbl_poll.ClientID %> input:checked').val() + "','PostId':'<%=Session["SessionPostId"].ToString() %>','UserId':'<%=Session["SessionUserId"].ToString() %>'}",
                    contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
                    dataType: "json",
                    success: function (data) {
                        $('#<%=pnl_poll_result.ClientID %>').text(data);
                    }
                });

here is the webmethod

[WebMethod]
public static String insert_post_poll_selections(String ProfessionalId, String choice_id, string PostId, string UserId)
{

 //do some database stuff

    return "return message from web method";
}

I think you should debug your code in console in webbrowser to look what contains data variable. Maybe solution is simple, and you should use

$('#<%=pnl_poll_result.ClientID %>').text(data.responseText);
