Question

i m using jquery ajax to get data from an asp.net back end method like this:

$.ajax({
    cache: false,
    type: "POST",
    url: '<%= Page.ResolveUrl("~/Live/Live.aspx/GetViews") %>',
    content: "json",
    contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
    data: "{ 'Altid' : '" + GetAltId() + "' }",
    success: function (msg) {
        $("#backEndCount").text(msg.d);
    },
    fail: function (msg) {
        $("#backEndCount").text(msg.d);
    }
});

and the back end method:

[WebMethod]
public static string GetViews(int Altid) 
{
    return Live.count(Altid);
}

this call works fine locally, but on the remote service i get the page html as a response instead of the normal response which is the “d”.

what is the problem, thanks.

You have to check two main things:

1. Make sure asp.net is supported on the server (try to run any aspx page and make sure it is behaving normally)
2. Make sure the path '<%= Page.ResolveUrl("~/Live/Live.aspx/GetViews") %>' is correct online (try the full path for testing)
