How do I go about calling a method on an ASP.NET Web Form page using the getJSON method on jQuery?
The goal is this:
I don't want to use an UpdatePanel, I've done this hundreds on times using the ASP.NET MVC Framework, but can't figure it out using Web Forms!
So far, I can do everything, including calling the server, it just doesn't call the right method.
Thanks,
Kieron
Some code:
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
   jQuery("#<%= AreaListBox.ClientID %>").click(function() {
       updateRegions(jQuery(this).val());
   });
});
function updateRegions(areaId) {
    jQuery.getJSON('/Locations.aspx/GetRegions', 
        { areaId: areaId },
        function (data, textStatus) {
            debugger;
        });
}
                Here is a minimalistic example which should hopefully get you started:
<%@ Page Language="C#" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="System.Web.Services" %>
<script runat="server">
    [WebMethod]
    public static string GetRegions(int areaId)
    {
        return "Foo " + areaId;
    }
</script>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
    <title>jQuery and page methods</title>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    $(function() {
        var areaId = 42;
        $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: "Default.aspx/GetRegions",
            data: "{areaId:" + areaId + "}",
            contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
            dataType: "json",
            success: function(data) {
               alert(data.d);
           }
        });
    });
    </script>
</body>
</html>
