MVC Ajax.ActionLink doesn't find POST method

Question

I have a POST method declared in my controller:

[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
public ActionResult UpdateComments(int id, string comments)
{
    // ... 
}
         


        

Answer 1

It seems it didn't like the way I was declaring my OnFailure and OnSuccess callbacks. I guess it couldn't parse my AjaxOptions object so was ignoring the HttpMethod="POST" setting.

I got it working by changing it to:

OnFailure="function() { alert('fail'); }",
OnSuccess="function() { alert('success'); }"
