I'm currently attempting to retrieve a list of objects from my database using jQuery. I have been attempting to use getJSON but the callback is never fired. However, if I use
$.post(url, data, callback)
... then it seems to fire just fine.
My controller actions is thus:
public ActionResult GetTemplates() { IEnumerable<Template> templates = TemplateDAO.GetTemplates(); List<TemplateViewModel> jsonTemplates = new List<TemplateViewModel>(); foreach(Template t in templates) { TemplateViewModel tvm = new TemplateViewModel(t.ID, t.TemplateName); jsonTemplates.Add(tvm); } return Json(jsonTemplates.ToList()); } and the TemplateViewModel is:
public class TemplateViewModel { public int ID {get; set; } public string TemplateName {get; set; } } The javascript I'm attempting to use is:
function LoadTemplates() { alert("loading templates"); var url = '<%= Url.Action("GetTemplates", "Project") %>'; $.getJSON(url, null, function(data) { alert("Succeeded" + data); }); } This javascript does not show the "Succeeded" alert for some reason, whereas replacing the getJSON call with
$.post(url, null, updateTemplates, 'json');
works.
Any ideas?
It's more of a curiosity thing now that $.post works, but I'd like to know what I'm doing wrong, as every example I've seen looks exactly like mine!
Cheers,
Chris
