Question

I have the following javascript:

$.ajax({   type: "POST",   dataType: "json",   url: "/Home/Submit",   data: {     email: strEmail,     message: strMessage   },   success: function(result) {     //alert('here');     alert(result.message);   },   error: function(error) {     alert(error);   } }); 

This makes a call to this function:

public JsonResult Submit(string Email, string Message) {   return Json(new {     message = "yep"   }); } 

This works fine in debug mode on the inbuilt webserver.

However, if I go to the virtual dir directly, it does not and hits the error bit. I am attached to the process, and the code behind it never gets hit.

I am using Vista.

Additionally, how do you get the error description in the bit where it says alert(error);

Answer 1

Is your virtual directory at the root of the web server? The path you are supplying is rooted and won’t work if your virtual directory is not at the root.
