Question

I have an ajax call that has been working fine on a hosted website until recently

Defined like this

$.ajax({
        url: 'GetItemsForCountry',
        type: 'GET',
        data: "country=" + country,
        success: function (items) {
            $("#Items").empty();
            $("#Items").attr("disabled", false)
            $.each(items, function (i, c) {
                $("#Items").append($('<option></option>').val(c.Value).html(c.Text))
            }
                  );
        })

When I try and debug it locally in VS it’s working fine and I see it passing my controller on the line…

http://localhost:9000/Home/GetItemsForCountry?country=USA

when I run it with it on the hosted server, it is being passed as

http://servername/GetItemsForCountry?country=USA.  

It wasn’t doing this before.

Does anyone have a clue why? or know a way to MapRoute it to make this not give a 404 error?

Thanks for any help.

If you change the URL to /home/getitemsforcountry it will work on the server and locally. Just using Getitemsforcountry will attempt to tack that onto the current “area” of the site you are in.
