asp.net mvc ajax driving me mad - asp.net-mvc-3

how come when I send ajax request like this everything works
$(".btnDeleteSong").click(function () {
var songId = $(this).attr('name');
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: "/Home/DeleteSong/",
data: { id: songId },
success: ShowMsg("Song deleted successfully"),
error: ShowMsg("There was an error therefore song could not be deleted, please try again"),
dataType: "json"
});
});
But when I add the anonymous function to the success It always showes me the error message although the song is still deleted
$(".btnDeleteSong").click(function () {
var songId = $(this).attr('name');
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: "/Home/DeleteSong/",
data: { id: songId },
success: function () { ShowMsg("Song deleted successfully"); },
error: function () {
ShowMsg("There was an error therefore song could not be deleted, please try again");
},
dataType: "json"
});
});
what if i wanted few things on success of the ajax call, I need to be able to use the anonymous function and I know that's how it should be done, but what am I doing wrong?
I want the success message to show not the error one.
function ShowMsg(parameter) {
$("#msg").find("span").replaceWith(parameter);
$("#msg").css("display", "inline");
$("#msg").fadeOut(2000);
return false;
}

Make sure your action is returning Json data.
"json": Evaluates the response as JSON and returns a JavaScript object. In jQuery 1.4 the JSON data is parsed in a strict manner; any malformed JSON is rejected and a parse error is thrown. (See json.org for more information on proper JSON formatting.)
http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/

Your action method should surely return Json data. I have the similar code see if that helps.
public ActionResult GetAllByFilter(Student student)
{
return Json(new { data = this.RenderPartialViewToString("PartialStudentList", _studentViewModel.GetBySearchFilter(student).ToList()) });
}
$("#btnSearch").live('click',function () {
var student = {
Name: $("#txtSearchByName").val(),
CourseID: $("#txtSearchByCourseID").val()
};
$.ajax({
url: '/StudentRep/GetAllByFilter',
type: "POST",
data: JSON.stringify(student),
dataType: "json",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
success: function(result) {
$("#dialog-modal").dialog("close");
RefreshPartialView(result.data);
}
, error: function() { alert('some error occured!!'); }
});
});
Above code is used to reload a partial view. in your case it should be straight forward.

ASP.NET & Ajax - How to pass value from ajax to action?

I have a few checkboxes on my page. I have some jquery in place to ensure that only one checkbox is checked at a time. I have assigned a specific value to each checkbox. The below ajax finds the checkbox that is checked and I'm grabbing the value associated to it. How do I pass that value to my action?
AJAX
$("input:checkbox").click(function () {
var PaymentID = document.querySelector('#chkBox:checked').value;
alert(PaymentID); // for test
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
dataType: "json",
data: PaymentID,
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
url: "#Url.Action("MyAction", "Home")",
success: function () {
return PaymentID; // Failed attempt at passing data.
}
})
})
Action:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult MyAction(string PaymentID)
{
// Magic
}
Please keep in mind i am fairly new to ajax. Thx guys.
You can pass a javascript object with name PaymentID ( same name as your action method parameter)
data: { PaymentID: PaymentID },
You do not need to specify contentType as you are sending a simply object. Also you do not necessarily need to specify dataType for your ajax call to send the data.
This should work.
var PaymentID = "some value";
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
data: { PaymentID: PaymentID },
url: "#Url.Action("MyAction", "Home")",
success: function (response) {
console.log('response', response);
}
});
Or you can use the $.post method.
$.post("#Url.Action("MyAction", "Home")",{ PaymentID: PaymentID }, function(response) {
console.log('response', response);
});

Ajax success: function(data) is undefined

Edit: could've researched better... reading this post now: How do I return the response from an asynchronous call?
I have an ajax request which returns JSON data. When I watch it in fiddler, it does go out to the service and get the JSON data, but when I try to set a variable to it's response, that variable is "undefined". If I alert in the success method, it alerts, but the variable is still undefined.
I tried changing the function(data) to function(something) incase that had anything to do with it... same story.
var returndata
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "GetSecurables/",
data: { etaNumber: etaNumber },
success: function (data) {
returndata = data; //undefined
alert('haaalp');
}
});
The JSON is like below
[
{
"DelegateSid":null,
"DisplayName":"Tom",
"HasDelegation":true,
"HasEtaManagement":false
},
{
"DelegateSid":null,
"DisplayName":"Tim",
"HasDelegation":true,
"HasEtaManagement":false
},
{
"DelegateSid":null,
"DisplayName":"Jake",
"HasDelegation":true,
"HasEtaManagement":false
},
{
"DelegateSid":null,
"DisplayName":"Ryan",
"HasDelegation":true,
"HasEtaManagement":false
}
]
Try:
var returndata;
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "GetSecurables/",
data: { etaNumber: etaNumber },
success: function (data) {
console.log(data);
returndata = data;
console.log(returndata);
}
});
If the 2 outputs are the same it might be the case that you're trying to access returndata from outside its scope, hence the undefined, or that you're accessing returndata before the Ajax call completes.

Ajax Call with PUT method

i am trying to make ajax call with PUT method. Below is the code, but i am getting with the error XML Parsing Error: no element found Location: moz-nullprincipal:{c847a4af-f009-4907-a103-50874fcbbe35} Line Number 1, Column 1:
$.ajax({
type: "PUT",
async: true,
url: "http://localhost:8080/karthick/update",
data: JSON.stringify(params),
contentType: "application/json",
dataType: "JSON",
processdata: true,
success: function (json) { //On Successfull service call
},
error: function (xhr) {
alert(xhr.responseText);
}
});
return false;
};
function ServiceFailed(xhr) {
alert(xhr.responseText);
if (xhr.responseText) {
var err = xhr.responseText;
if (err)
error(err);
else
error({ Message: "Unknown server error." })
}
return;
}
But this service is working Good with Rest-client jar. Also my POST method works fine in my browser. Please help me in this.

Usually, this error comes, when making a cross browser request. Try data: JSONP and see if it helps.

Jquery ajax returning null values back to controller - MVC3

I'm using jQuery ajax to build a viewmodel list and then trying to send that viewmodel to another ActionResult in order to create PartialViews. The first part works well, and I'm able to create the viewmodel (List), but when I try to send the viewmodel back to the controller to build up the partial views, everything within the viewmodel is 0. It returns the correct number of items in the list, but it seems to lose the values.
Can anyone see if I'm missing anything here?
jQuery:
$.ajax({
async: false,
type: 'GET',
dataType: "json",
url: '#Url.Action("GetMapDetails")',
success: function (data) {
$.ajax({
async: false,
type: 'POST',
dataType: "json",
url: '#Url.Action("GetMapItems")',
data: {
list: data
},
success: function (list) {
//callback
});
}
});
}
});
and the controller:
public ActionResult GetMapDetails()
{
List<ViewModel> vm = new List<ViewModel>();
//create viewmodel here
return Json(vm.ToArray(), JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult GetMapItems(List<ViewModel> list)
{
return PartialView("_MapItemsPartial", list);
}
I've tried also using contentType: 'application/json' and JSON.stringify(data) but that gave me an Invalid JSON primitive error.
Any help appreciated - thanks
You could send them as JSON request:
$.ajax({
async: false,
type: 'POST',
contentType: 'application/json',
url: '#Url.Action("GetMapItems")',
data: JSON.stringify({
list: data
}),
success: function (result) {
//callback
}
});
Also notice that I have removed the dataType: 'json' parameter because your GetMapItems POST controller action doesn't return any JSON. It returns a PartialView. So I guess you did something wrong and this is not what it was meant to be returned from this controller action because from what I can see in your success callback you are expecting to manipulate JSON.
Oh, and please remove this async:false => it defeats the whole purpose of AJAX as you are no longer doing any AJAX, you are now doing SJAX.

Ajax Call not working - is the call right

I am trying to send an ajax call with json array
the call function is
if(objHasValue) {
alert(JSON.stringify(objArray));
alert("before ajax call");
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'http://www.web2222.net/Test/test.php',
dataType: 'json',
data: { json: JSON.stringify(objArray) },
success: function(data) {
alert('did it-'+data);
return false;
},
error: function(data){
alert('failure'+data.json);
}
});
}
return false;
somehow it doesn't work
Do I have any mistake there?
Thanks
i am not sure if this is the problem but try something like :
data: { "json": JSON.stringify(objArray) }
