Question

I am using a jquery mobile for mobile application, and I try to reuse as much as possible of the original desktop app. So, one of my pagers has ajax links and uses HttpPost PartialViewResult method.

I have two methods that are named the same way, but one is HttpPost and second one is regular. When I debug with firebug I see that all the links in the pager are being sent with HttpGet even though I specify the post type. Code for ajax options:

var ajaxOptions = new AjaxOptions { 
    UpdateTargetId = "productList", 
    HttpMethod = "POST", 
    OnBegin = "beginPaging", 
    OnSuccess = "endPaging", 
    OnFailure = "errorPaging" 
};

Basically my questions is, why ajax calls are always GET, and how can I change that. Thank you. I am using MVC3 if it helps.

You probably forgot to include the jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.js script to your page. This script unobtrusively AJAXifies anchors and forms generated with the Ajax.* helpers.
