Question

I am working on as asp.net application. Its view has a button like this:

<input type="button" id="btnCall" title="Call" value="Call" class="ui-button ui-widget ui-state-default ui-corner-all ui-button-text-only" />

and in document.ready, I have this:

$("#btnCall").click(function () {
    alert("here");
    $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        dataType: "text/json",
        url: "/account/getGenericPassword",
        success: function (data) {                   
            alert("data" + data);
            if (data == null || data == "") {
                 alert("Generic Password is empty. Please enter generic password");
            }
            else {
               //saveCallRecording();
            }
       }
   });
});

and method is like this:

[Authorize]
public JsonResult GetGenericPassword() {
     using (IUserProfileManager profilemanager = new ManagerFactory().GetUserProfileManager())            {
          UserProfile profile = profilemanager.GetProfile(CurrentUser.Id, CurrentAccount.Id);
          return Json(profile.GenericPassword == null ? "" : profile.GenericPassword, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
     }
}

but alert in success is not shown. Please suggest solution.

Try setting the dataType like so:

dataType: "json"

See the valid dataType options at http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/
