Question

I’m stuck, who can help me out? In my LogOn.aspx View I’ve login controls (Username, Password, RememberMe) inside a FORM tag:

<form id="loginform" method="post" action="/Account/LogOn/">

Below that, I’ve a hidden DIV with a OPTION dropdownlist and a confirm-button, with a onclick_event:

$.ajaxSetup({ cache: false });
$.ajax({
    type: "GET",
    url: "/Account/SetCompanyAndContinue",
    data: "{ 'id' : '1'}",
    contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
    dataType: "json"
});

First, the user logs in. In jQuery, I post the login credentials via AJAX:

var loginCred = new Object();
loginCred.Username = $('#userName').val();
loginCred.Password = $('#password').val();
loginCred.RememberMe = $('#rememberMe').checked;

var myJsonObject = JSON.stringify(loginCred);

$.ajaxSetup({ cache: false });
$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
    url: "/Account/LogOnAjax/",
    data: myJsonObject,
    dataType: "json",
    success: function(data) {
        PostCredentialsSuccess(data);
    }
});

This POST works perfect. The breakpoint at the Controller Action is hit by the debugger and returns a JSON object of data. I put this JSON data into the OPTION dropdownlist. This Option Dropdownlist is then presented to the user. Then, when the user clicks the confirm-button, a second AJAX call is made:

$.ajaxSetup({ cache: false });
$.ajax({
    type: "GET",
    url: "/Account/SetCompanyAndContinue",
    data: "{ 'id' : '1'}",
    contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
    dataType: "json"
});

I would expect that the Controller Action named “SetCompanyAndContinue” gets hit:

    [AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Get)]
    public ActionResult SetCompanyAndContinue(string id)
    {
        SessionAdapter.CustomerID = Convert.ToInt32(id);
        return null;
    }

But it ain’t happening, instead, the default Controller Action get’s hit the first time:

    public ActionResult LogOn()
    {
        return View();
    }

BUT(!) the second time I click (the same) confirm-button the Controller Action finally hits [SetCompanyAndContinue].

Can somebody tell me what I’m doing wrong? Many thanks in advance.

Stupid mistake from my behalf:
