Jquery - using a POST request, which is not allowed Error

Question

I am trying to get jquery to communicate with a web service!!

  function Test(item) {
    $.ajax({
        type: \'POST\',
        url: \'WebService.asmx/Tes         


        

Answer 1

Well, use a GET request, then (or change the webservice method to accept POST)

function Test(item) {
    $.ajax({
        type: 'GET',
        url: 'WebService.asmx/Test',
        data: {Item: item }, /* note change here, data is NOT a string! */
        contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
        dataType: 'json',
        success: function (msg) {
            alert("oi");
        },
        error: function (msg) {
            alert('Get Details Failure: ' + msg);
        }
    });
};

Note that the data parameter is NOT a string (and, specifically, it is not JSON). You should pass a JavaScript object.

Your web service method is marked with a ScriptMethodAttribute that specifies UseHttpGet = true. Try removing this argument, or setting it to false. This is what is preventing the POST from working.
