How to use getJSON, sending data with post method?

Question

I am using above method & it works well with one parameter in URL.

e.g. Students/getstud/1 where controller/action/parameter format is applied.

Answer 1

The $.getJSON() method does an HTTP GET and not POST. You need to use $.post()

$.post(url, dataToBeSent, function(data, textStatus) {
  //data contains the JSON object
  //textStatus contains the status: success, error, etc
}, "json");

In that call, dataToBeSent could be anything you want, although if are sending the contents of a an html form, you can use the serialize method to create the data for the POST from your form.

var dataToBeSent = $("form").serialize();
