I have a dropdownlist that I use jquery ajax to make a call to a webmethod. My intended solution is to update all the data fields on the cuurent page based on the dropdown selected index using ajax.

function getDBInfo()
{

   var mySelectedIndex = $("#<%=dblParameter.ClientID%>").val(); //id name for dropdown list
   $.ajax({
         type:"POST",
         url:"/Manage/Details.aspx?param=",
         data:{}
         contentType:application/json; charset=utf-8",
         dataType:"json"
         success: function(data)
         {
             //this is what I am trying to accomplish but not sure how I should handle the webservice method to do this or if I am even doing it right so far
             $("#<%=txtParameter.ClientID%>;").text(data.Parameter);
             $("#<%=txtName.ClientID%>;").text(data.Name);
             $("#<%=txtSSN.ClientID%>;").text(data.SSN);
             //etc....
         }
     });
 }

then in my code behind I have my page method

 protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {
    dblParameter.Attributes.Add("onchange","getDBInfo");
 }
 [WebMethod]
 public static DataRowView getDBInfo(string param)
 {                 
     ConnectionStringSettings conn = ConfiguationManager.ConnectionStrings["MasterDBConnectionString"];
     SQLDataSource Details = new SqlDataSource(conn.ConnectionString, "SELECT * FROM [tblInfo] WHERE ([ParamID] = "+param);
     DataRowView db = (DataRowView)Details.Select(DataSourceSelectArguments.Empty);
      return db;
  }

What am I doing wrong because in my javascript calling data.Name or data.Parameter won’t work. Should it be data[“Parameter”] instead? or am I way off base here

Edit1:

I changed a lot of my code around here is what I have and I am now its working

$(document).ready(function(){ 
   $("#<%=dblParameter.ClientID%>").change(function(){
     var myparam= $("#<%=dblParameter.ClientID%>").val(); //id name for dropdown list
       $.ajax({
         type:"POST",
         url:"Details.aspx/getDBInfo",
         data:'{param:"'+myparam+'"}',
         contentType:application/json; charset=utf-8",
         success: function(data)
         {
             alert(data.d)
         }
     });
   });
 });

  protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {

 }
 [WebMethod]
 public static string getDBInfo(string param)
 {                 
     MyMainClass myInit = new MyMainClass();
     string target= myInit.GetInfo(param);
     return target;
 }

    This is what worked:

      $(document).ready(function(){  
        $("#<%=dblParameter.ClientID%>").change(function(){ 
         var myparam= $("#<%=dblParameter.ClientID%>").val(); //id name for dropdown list       
         $.ajax({ 
          type:"POST",
          url:"Details.aspx/getDBInfo",
          data:'{param:"'+myparam+'"}',
          contentType:application/json; charset=utf-8",
          success: function(data)
          {       
           alert(data.d)
          } 
      }); 
     });
    });  
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)  {
     } 
    [WebMethod]
    public static string getDBInfo(string param)  { 
         MyMainClass myInit = new MyMainClass();
         string target= myInit.GetInfo(param);
      return target;
    }
