Question

I’m trying to execute a server side method using this technique:

Javascript Ajax function

function storeLocal(brand, type) {
    $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
        data: "{brand:'" + brand + "'}",
        url: "Jquery Site.Master/storeLocal",
        datatype: "json",
        success: OnSuccess(brand),
    });
}

function OnSuccess(brand) {
    alert(brand);
}

C# method:

[WebMethod]
public static object storeLocal(string brand)
{
    HttpContext.Current.Session.Add("Brand", brand);
}

line of code to execute is:

<li>
    <a class="strong" onclick="storeLocal('petzl','harness')" href="About.aspx">Harnesses</a>
</li>

but its not executing correctly is there any particular error in my code?
reasone i am using this method is because i want to have a dynamic menu for a small project and wish to store in session what specific “li” did a user select in session so that i can load the content in the redirected page.
Thanks alot

Answer 1

There is no return in your method that is might be the poblem, you method should be like as below

[WebMethod]
 public static object storeLocal(string brand)
 {
     HttpContext.Current.Session.Add("Brand", brand);
     return "value" +brand;
 }
