My ASP.NET web site converts URLs like http://smth.com/player/1234 into request to "player" page with parameter id=1234
On the page I need to make a web-request to the 'GetData' method on this page. I would like to do the request using jQuery. All tutorials I've found (http://encosia.com/using-jquery-to-directly-call-aspnet-ajax-page-methods/, for instance) suggests to pass URL/method name in 'url' parameter of '$.ajax'
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "PageName.aspx/MethodName", // in my case that will be ... what?
data: "{}",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
success: function(msg) {
// Do something interesting here.
}
});
The problem is that if I specify "player/1234/GetData" then request will be done to "player" page, but ASP.NET won't call GetData method...
Should I implement custom logic on this page and call 'GetData' in order to execute web-request? If yes, how can I identify that request is done to the WebMethod?
Or I should provide 'plain' url in the way like http://smth.com/player.aspx?Id=1234/GetData
I probably miss something? May be jquery does allow specify 'method name' in a separate field? Or I should configure my web site to handle that properly?
Please advise. Any ideas are welcome!
Dunno how to resolve the problem.. so instead I'm making request to web service (URL contains .asmx that bypass URL rewriting)...
If you know how to resolve the original problem - please advise!
