Question

I am trying to do either a DELETE (preferred) or POST via Ajax.

$(document).ready(function () {
    $("a.deleteOne").click(function () {
        var id = $(this).parents('td:first').children('.hiddenId').val();
        var title = $(this).parents('tr:first').children('td:first').text();
        if (confirm("Really delete the [" + title + "] document?")) {
            $.ajax({
                type: "POST",
                url: "/WebApp/Area/Documents/Delete/" + id,
                //data: { id: id },
                success: function () { alert("Document [" + title + "] deleted."); },
                failure: function () { alert("Document [" + title + "] was NOT deleted."); }
            });
        }
    });
    return false;
});

For some reason the controller’s action is not getting called.

Action code looks like:
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
[Transaction]
[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
//[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Delete)]
public ActionResult Delete(int id)
{
    if (!BaseAuthorizationProvider.HasPermissionToPerform(App.Core.Security.Operations.CreateDocumentTask))
    {
        HandlePermissionException();
    }
    ActionConfirmation deleteConfirmation = DocumentManagementService.Delete(id);
    TempData[ControllerEnums.GlobalViewDataProperty.PageMessage.ToString()] = deleteConfirmation.Message;
    return RedirectToAction("Index");
}

What am I missing?

Turns out my site was not accepting the DELETE verb. Removed WebDAVModule and it started working. Now, on to the next problem with the AuthToken.

<system.webServer>
<modules>
<remove name="WebDAVModule" />
