Jquery call to Controller of MVC: ReferenceError: url is not defined - c#

I tried all my efforts, but just can't understand where the error lies. I searched the google also but did not find any good solution. It is not actually calling the controller/action in mvc. The same is running good in the other parts of the project.
I have a contrller "RB" under a folder "MVC", the action is defined as "SS".
and I am firing following code from my javascript file :
var sSch = function (request, response) {
var t = request.RF.substring(0, 1);
var d = new Date(request.RNR);
$.ajax({
url: "/MVC/RB/SS",
type: "POST",
dataType: "json",
data: {
_rId: request.ReportId,
_date: d.toString(),
_fcy: t
},
success: function (data) {
alert('Success');
},
error: function (data) {
alert('Error');
}
});
};
I am calling this function onClick of a button and properly getting the values in Request variable, but it is not anyhow calling the Controller/Action there.
On firebug I tested it throws the exception "ReferenceError: url is not defined". I am using MVC3 under VS 2010.
Please Help.

You have to define your action properly instead of
url: "/MVC/RB/SS",
use
url: #Url.Action("SS", "RB")

For the url you have 'MVC/RB/SS' this is relative to your current directory a quick test would be to put in url: "../MVC/RB/SS" or url: "../../MVC/RB/SS" depending on how deep you page is in the site structure.
Another way would be to try this:
url: "#Action("/MVC/RB/SS")",
this will create the correct url at the correct level for you and should be picked up.

Try this:
url: "~/MVC/RB/SS",
This will resolve to path "http://site-name/MVC/RB/SS".
What does Firebug say?

Problem with calling WebApi controller from js ajax

In my ASP.NET MVC application I have a problem in calling WebAPI controller by ajax statement.
Here is my code:
$.ajax({
url: 'api/cartitems',
type: self.cartItem.id == null ? 'post' : 'put',
contentType: 'application/json',
data: ko.toJSON(data)
})
.done(self.successfulSave)
.fail(self.errorSave)
It produces an error 404 - file not found.
I've tested different possibilities and only one that works is using whole URL path.
$.ajax({
url: 'http://xx.yyy.zz.vvv/APP_NAME/api/cartitems',
type: self.cartItem.id == null ? 'post' : 'put',
contentType: 'application/json',
data: ko.toJSON(data)
})
.done(self.successfulSave)
.fail(self.errorSave)
Is it possible to not use the full path?
I wonder whether, there is an error in ASP.NET MVC configuration.
On developer environment it works with simplified URL in ajax call.
And I can't believe that Microsoft forces developers to adjust URL address on every productive system.
I bet the Url.Action construct will work. It ties into your routing configuration to produce a valid url.
In .JS Script
url:'#Url.Action("api","cartitems")',
In .xxhtml
url:'#Model.YourPostabckUrlVariable',

Ajax not recognized in JQuery file

I uploaded to GitHub days ago an MVC project, I've downloaded it again, and want to set some new functions using JQuery Ajax, but now when I'm trying to do something like this:
$("#btnTrigger").click(function () {
$.ajax({
type: "get",
url: "/Orders/MyJson/"
}).success(function (result) {
alert(result.testing)
})
});
An exception is thrown: Object doesn't support property or method 'success'.
I think that something is wrong with JQuery, when I'm going to write $.ajax inside a function the keyword ajax is not displayed, instead Intellisense shows other keywords like attr etc. Normally the keyword ajax is displayed from Intellisense.
I've been trying uninstaling and installing JQuery again and nothing happened, I've check the BundleConfig class to check if the JQuery files are added and they are there, I've installed unobtrusive ajax and have added it to BundleConfig class too and still the problem continues... What it could be??
Try it like this, putting the success inside ajax definition
$("#btnTrigger").click(function () {
$.ajax({
type: "get",
url: "/Orders/MyJson/",
success: {
function (result) {
alert(result.testing);
}
}})})

Why is this jquery ajax GET call to a C# method not working?

I have a C# .NET MVC 5 project. I'm trying to submit a GET request from ajax to a controller method on the server. The problem is that, even though this jquery is being called, the GET always returns a 404. Here is the js:
var theArguments = { "prefix": prefix, "level": level, "number": number };
$.ajax({
url: "GetMasteryObjective",
type: "GET",
data: theArguments,
//data: JSON.stringify({ prefix: "prefix", level: "level", number: "number" }),
//url: "/MasteryObjectiveAPI/GetMasteryObjective?prefix=" + prefix + "&level=" + level + "&number=" + number,
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
success: function () {
console.log("Successfully queried the database to validate the given mastery objective.");
},
error: function () {
console.log("There was an error with trying to validate the mastery objective with the database.");
}
});
As you can see I've tried several variants of how the variables are submitted (commented out). This is the controller method that is never getting hit.
[HttpGet]
//[ScriptMethod(ResponseFormat = ResponseFormat.Json)]
public static MasteryObjective GetMasteryObjective(String prefix, String level, String number)
{
//code here
}
Other methods in the same controller have no problem being posted to. So maybe there's something I don't understand about GET? I understand that it should be valid to submit variables with a GET request.
Wow. I just discovered the answer to my own question while creating this post. I needed to remove static from my controller method.
Happy that, you have got the solution.
However, thinking that this may help others .....
One of the reason for ajax call not hitting the Method in controller is:
If the controller method is under [Authorize] but the user is trying to hit without logging in.
Solution: If want to allow unauthorized access to that method; mark that method has [AllowAnonymous], otherwise log-in and then try.

AJAX post returns always 500, cant debug

Recently I was faced with some strange server behavior - it started to return a 500 error at several ajax POST requests. All was working fine before. GET requests work fine. I have made Visual Studio trace my code exceptions but I still cannot see requests coming in while debugging. Do you have any ideas?
Example
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "/home/some-action",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
success: function (response) {
console.log(response);
}
});
[POST("some-action")]
public ActionResult SomeAction()
{
return new JsonNetResult("success request");
}
Update
I use this prefix for my controller:
[RoutePrefix("home")]
So you're using Attribute Routing?
I can't see your Controller but I assume you're missing the Route for /home in the controller, or removed it from [POST("/home/some-action")]
We need more information though. Current assumption is the URL doesn't exist.

Calling a function in the .aspx.cs code behind file with jQuery load()

So I have something like this situation:
$(document).on('click', 'a[data-link]', function () {
var $this = $(this);
url = $this.data('link');
$("#imagePreview").load("imageProcess.aspx?" + url);
where url holds GET parameters. But imageProcess.aspx is different than the file I'm in (dashboard.aspx) and I need to reference some panels within my dashboard.aspx file. So my question is, using the .load() function, or even any function that could get the job done, how do I call a function, with GET parameters, in the dashboard.aspx code behind file? I'm fairly new to the .NET framework so I apologize if the question sounds elementary.
In your imageProcess.aspx.cs create a webmethod like:
[WebMethod]
public static string YourMethod(your parameters)
{
//Do Your Work
}
and in your dashboard page, in javascript use jquery to send request your webmethod like:
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "imageProcess.aspx/YourMethod",
data: "{parameter1Name:'" + JSON.stringify(parameter1value) + "', Parameter2Name:'" + JSON.stringify(parmeter2Value) + "'}",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
success: function(data) {
// do your success work, keep in mind that your returned data will be in data.d
},
error: function(XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) {
// do your failuer work
}
});
I hope it will give you a guidance to achieve your task.
Just to make sure: You are trying to access functionality from a different aspx page than the one you are currently on.
I'm not entirely sure if you can do that the easy way by java script. Maybe someone else knows a better way, but the way I would do it is creating ashx service page which will handle your request so you can provide the data you need (in your case an image)
