page_load called when calling webmethod using JQuery ajax

Question

I'm trying to call a webmethod inside a aspx page but only the page load event loads.

The webmethod:

<WebMethod()> _
Public Shared Function Test() As String
    Return "hello"
End Function

The ajax call:

$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: "../Custom/Policy.aspx/Test",
    dataType: "text",
    success: function (data) { alert(data);},
    error: function (request, status, error) {
        console.log(request.responseText);
    }
});

The funny thing is I managed to make it work in the past and even looked at the code but still I can't make it work and now I gave up....

Any assistance will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Look at the console to see if there are errors. This looks fine to me. Where is the ajax function called exactly? — ahmed.hoban

so what can you see in the console? Is the response text printed to the console? What status code do you see for the request — ahmed.hoban

200 - OK And I get in return the whole aspx page after page_load function finishes. — Gal Ziv

add these arguments to your ajax call: contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8", dataType: "json", AFAIK the return type for calling a WebMethod MUST be "json". — ahmed.hoban

The problem was I pass to data a native JSON object. Once I passed this object as String it started to work!
