jQuery 1.3.2, ASP.NET 2.0. Making an AJAX call to a PageMethod (WebMethod) returns the full/whole page instead of just the response. A breakpoint on the page method shows it’s never getting hit. I have the [WebMethod] attribute on my method, and it is public static, returns string and accepts no params. I even tried adding [ScriptService] at the top of my class to see if it helped, but it did not.

I have seen this post Jquery AJAX with ASP.NET WebMethod Returning Entire Page which had my same symptoms, but I am still having a problem. I read http://encosia.com/2008/05/29/using-jquery-to-directly-call-aspnet-ajax-page-methods/ and I feel like I’m following this to the T, but still no luck.

The jQuery call I’m making is:

jQuery.ajax({     type: 'POST',     contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',     data: '{}',     dataType: 'json',     url: 'MyPage.aspx/SomePageMethod',     success: function(result){         alert(result);     } });

The request/response headers, as per Firebug in FF3, are as follows

Response Headers Server  ASP.NET Development Server/8.0.0.0 Date    Tue, 24 Feb 2009 18:58:27 GMT X-AspNet-Version    2.0.50727 Cache-Control   private Content-Type    text/html; charset=utf-8 Content-Length  108558 Connection  Close  Request Headers  Host    localhost:2624 User-Agent  Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.6) Gecko/2009011913 Firefox/3.0.6 Accept  application/json, text/javascript, */* Accept-Language en-us,en;q=0.5 Accept-Encoding gzip,deflate Accept-Charset  ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7 Keep-Alive  300 Connection  keep-alive Content-Type    application/json; charset=utf-8 X-Requested-With XMLHttpRequest Referer http://localhost:2624/MyApp/MyPage.aspx Content-Length  2 Cookie  ASP.NET_SessionId=g1idhx55b5awyi55fvorj055;

I’ve added a ScriptManager to my page just for kicks to see if it helped, but no luck there.

Any suggestions?

  1. Do you know that Page Methods are working properly? If you use the the ScriptManager do they work?

    It sounds like you might be missing a web.config entry. Specifically the HttpModules section.
