Calling a WebService method from JQuery within a .NET UserControl

[RichRadio]

Hi,

I have the following script within a user control

    <script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
 
        jQuery().ready(function() {
 
            $("#btnNext").click(function() {
 
                var options = {
                    type: "POST",
                    url: "/services/UserServices.asmx/ValidateFields",
                    data: "{}",
                    contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
                    dataType: "json",
                    success: function(ret) {
                        alert(ret);
                    }
                };
 
                $.ajax(options);
            });
        });
           </script>
           <input id="btnNext" type="button" value="Next"  />
 
 

When I add the user control to a test page and click the button, nothing happens.

If I move this code to the test page itself (default.aspx), clicking the button calls the web method and returns successully.

So, I conclude that it isn't possible to do this within a user control which seems rather restrictive.... ...or am I missing something?

Any help....most appreciated!


Kind Regards


Richard.

I think it has to do with your URL.
Try providing an absolute URL to the web service....

Just in case anyone else stumbles across this looking for the same answer, check out http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5...d-using-jquery It states that this cannot be done as the ascx form does not represent a real URL.
