Question

when I navigate to
http://localhost:54763/Colorbox/Service.svc/GetCustomers,
I get the json data displayed..

but this on the client side did not generate the json data I need.. why?

            $.ajax(
            {
                type: "POST",
                url: "../Service.svc/GetCustomers",
                dataType: "json",
                data: {},
                contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
                success: function (json) {
                    var output = json;
                    $('#MyTemplateOutput').html(output);
                    });
                }
            });

Answer 1

you should try using the full url like so and edit this line:

url: "http://localhost:54763/Colorbox/Service.svc/GetCustomers",

try that and see if you get a response back.
