I have a JavaScript method dotrack()
. I am calling an action UpdateJson
from the JavaScript through AJAX. I am passing JSON data type and the method will return true/false
. After executing system is going to success block but the returned value is not true/false
.
My question is, whether the system is calling the action properly or not.
function doTrack() {
var D = { 'pageUrl': PageURL, 'linkUrl': linkURL, 'linkName': linkText, 'linkType': ControlType, 'leadId': LeadID, 'userType': UserType, 'portalId': PortalID, 'languageId': LanguageID, 'countryId': CountryID };
D = JSON.stringify(D);
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "portal/UpdateJson",
data: D,
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
success: function (result) {
if(result == true)
alert("Success");
else
alert(result);
},
error: function (xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError) {
alert(thrownError + " :: " + ajaxOptions);
//alert('unable to complete ajax request.');
}
});
}
Controller is Portal & Action is UpdateJson:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult UpdateJson(string pageUrl, string linkUrl, string linkName, string linkType, string leadId, string userType, string portalId, string languageId, string countryId)
{
//do stuff
return Json(true);
}
Please help.
Your ajax code is working fine.
You just need to use the result
variable directly instead of result.val
.
success: function (result) {
exists = (result);
alert(exists);
}
If you want to use val
property, you need to return an object that has val property too.
return Json(new { val = true });
Also you should use Url.Action
for preventing incorrect URL.
url: "@Url.Action("UpdateJson", "portal")"
