Question

I have the following code:

$.ajax({
    type: "GET",
    url: "/Search/GetNewData"  //Controller/ActionMethod
   ---snip---
)};

This works fine when run via localhost, however when it is deployed, it cannot find the controller method. I think it’s probably a routing problem? But, with only a small limited knowledge using ASP.net, I would appreciate some advice.

Thanks.

The following snippet would work for both virtual directories and web sites.

var baseUri = '@Url.Content("~/")';
$.ajax({
    type: "GET",
    url: baseUri + "Search/GetNewData"  //Controller/ActionMethod
   ---snip---
)};

You can also define the baseUri variable in your layout (above all <script tags) to be able to use it in all included javascripts.
