how do you pass a parameter to an asp.net page method using jquery/ajax?

I'm trying to pass parameters to my static web method (which is in an asp.net page). I'm trying to pass the "test1" param with a value of "myvalue". Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: "WebForm1.aspx/WebMethod1",
    data: {"test1": "myvalue"},
    contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
    dataType: "json",
    success: function(msg) {
        alert(msg.d);
    }
});

The way you have it set up, any error that may occur in the ajax call will get silently swallowed. I'd suggest adding an error callback like this:

$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: "WebForm1.aspx/WebMethod1",
    data: {"test1": "myvalue"},
    contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
    dataType: "json",
    success: function(msg) {
        alert(msg.d);
    },
    error: function(response) {
        $('body',document).html(response.responseText);
    }
});

Also, if you are using Visual Studio, you could run your ASP.NET app in debug mode to catch any server-side error. You can also put a breakpoint somewhere in the server-side code to make sure it's getting hit at all, and to inspect the Request.Form collection.

Hope this helps.

What error are you getting?

I've used prototype before (similar to jQuery for ajax) and with that you don't quote the parameter names. So your data parameter should probably be:

data: {test1: "myvalue"}

Give that a shot.

You could also try setting up Fiddler and see the actual request being made.
