IE prompts to open or save json result from server

Question

Internet explorer in compatibility mode gets the data from the server in an ajax callback method, and pops-up a dialog if I want to save the data or open. How to get rid of

Answer 1

Is above javascript code the one you're using in your web application ? If so - i would like to point few errors in it: firstly - it has an additional '{' sign in definition of 'success' callback function secondly - it has no ')' sign after definition of ajax callback. Valid code should look like:

$.ajax({
        type:'POST',
        data: 'args',
        url: '@Url.Action("PostBack")',
        success: function (data, textStatus, jqXHR) {
                alert(data.message);
            }
    });

try using above code - it gave me 'Yay' alert on all 3 IE versions ( 7,8,9 ).
