Question

I am using above method & it works well with one parameter in URL.

e.g. Students/getstud/1 where controller/action/parameter format is applied.

Now I have an action in Students controller that accepts two parameters and return a JSON object.

So how do I post data with $.getJSON() using post method?

Similar methods are also acceptable.

The point is to call an action of the controller with AJAX.

Answer 1

The $.getJSON() method does an HTTP GET and not POST. You need to use $.post()

$.post(url, dataToBeSent, function(data, textStatus) {   //data contains the JSON object   //textStatus contains the status: success, error, etc }, 'json'); 

In that call, dataToBeSent could be anything you want, although if are sending the contents of a an html form, you can use the serialize method to create the data for the POST from your form.

var dataToBeSent = $('form').serialize();
