Unable to call controller method through ajax in rails

I have tried all my googling skills , but i am not able to figure out the solution to my problem yet.

I am trying to send parameter to controller method from jquery using ajax. Once method is called, it will render its respective view page. But its not even entering into the ajax code to call the controller method(By inspect). I guess i am doing something really silly , but unable to figure out, Please help me out.

My Controller Method code:

def profile 
@prof = User.where(:id => params[:id])
end

My .js file

$(document).ready(function(){
    $('.table tr').click(function(){
      $.ajax({
          url: "users/profile",
          type: "POST",
          data: {id: $(this).attr('id')},
          success: function (data) {
          alert(data);
      }
  });
});
    });

My routes file:

 resources :users, :only => [:new, :create, :index,:profile]
  match 'users/profile' => 'users#profile', :as => :profile

Try this in your routes.rb

resources :users, :only => [:new, :create, :index]
get 'users/profile/:id' => 'users#profile', :as => :profile

And change your js method:

$(document).ready(function(){
    $('.table tr').click(function(){
      $.ajax({
          url: "/users/profile/" + $(this).attr('id'),
          type: "GET",
          success: function (data) {
              alert(data);
          }
      });
    });
  });

And your method should serialize to json, like this:

def profile 
  @prof = User.where(:id => params[:id])
  respond_to do |format|
    format.json  { render :json => @proof }
  end
end

Change your js method:

$(document).ready(function(){
    $('.tr_class').click(function(){
      $.ajax({
          url: "/users/profile?id="+$(this).attr('id'),
          type: "GET",
          success: function (data) {
             alert(data);
          }
      });
    });
  });

def profile 
  @prof = User.where(:id => params[:id])
  respond_to do |format|
    format.json  { render :json => @proof }
  end
