jQuery Ajax POST unsuccessful

Question

I\'m unable to successfully post using jquery\'s ajax functionality.

URL of the running page is http://localhost:9999, URL of the target (web service)

Answer 1

This is an issue with cross-domain ajax calls. Basically (at least in Firefox), a POST request is converted to an OPTIONS request for security reasons. I ran into the same exact thing last night, posted here.

WCF Ajax Call not working with Jquery $.ajax

I had an $.ajax call I was making on localhost:23485, to a web service on http://localhost hosted in IIS. Because they are different domains, cross-domain kicked in and made things difficult.
