Question

I´m new with MVC. I´m using MVC4.
I’m having an issue with a callback. If I alert before and after the post() call both alerts show but the call doesn’t fire.

[HttpGet]
[Authorize]
public ActionResult Dashboard(int Menu)
{
 //some code
 return View("Dashboard");
}

<script>
    $(document).ready(function () {
        $.post("../Client/GetFact", {},
        function (data) {  
          //some code
        });
    });
</script> 

[HttpPost]
[Authorize]
public JsonResult GetFact()
{
    //some code to fill object_data

    var data = object_data;

    return Json(data);
}

As long as I leave ActionResult Dashboard without a parameter is works. If I add a parameter to Dashboard(int Menu) then the call back to GetFact doesn’t work.
I searched and found a similar post and follow the instructions given by you guys, but still does not work( looked at: getJSON not working if the mvc model view controller has a parameter).
I do not know what I’m doing wrong. Can you help? Thank’s!

I do something similar with $.get, using jquery with the @Url.Action instead of the url.

in addition to using the FormContext to pass to my Action :

Place just before @using (Html.BeginForm())

@{ ViewContext.FormContext = new FormContext(); }

example :

$.get('@Url.Action("ActionName", "ControllerName")', { IDName: $('#IdName').val() }, function (data) {
                    //Do Something here with the data
                });

I would imagine form post would be

$.post('@Url.Ation("ActionName", "ControllerName")', function (data) {
                     //Do Something here with the data
              });
