JQUERY ajax passing value from MVC View to Controller

The problem is the ajax/jquery doesn\'t accept script tags as string. M

Answer 1

$('#btnSaveComments').click(function () {
    var comments = $('#txtComments').val();
    var selectedId = $('#hdnSelectedId').val();

    $.ajax({
        url: '<%: Url.Action("SaveComments")%>',
        data: { 'id' : selectedId, 'comments' : comments },
        type: "post",
        cache: false,
        success: function (savingStatu`enter code here`s) {
            $("#hdnOrigComments").val($('#txtComments').val());
            $('#lblCommentsNotification').text(savingStatus);
        },
        error: function (xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError) {
            $('#lblCommentsNotification').text("Error encountered while saving the comments.");
        }
    });
});
