Question

I have an action in a MobileController called ‘myaction’ and I call it with javascript like so:

 <script type="text/javascript">
    function SubmitData() {

        $.ajax(
            {
                type: "POST",
                url: "http://localhost:1613/Mobile/myaction",
                data: "id to post",
                success:
                function (result) {
                    window.alert("SUCCESS");
                },
                error: function (req, status, error) {
                    window.alert("ERROR!");
                }
            }
            );
    }
</script>

Notice however the url is not using relative paths, I tried making it just ~/Mobile/myaction but that didn’t work.

Any ideas how I can make it so the url being pointed to will work in all cases and not just if the domain is localhost:1613? Like if I uploaded it to mysite.com it would find the action at mysite.com/mobile/myaction.

Thanks for any help!

Answer 1

Replace the url by:

url: "/Mobile/myaction"

With ~ sign, it will only work with server controls/functions.
