ASP.Net MVC Routing problem with jQuery AJAX

My page is domain.com/home/details/1

In my jQuery AJAX call I have the following however when it makes that call its making a call to domain.com/home/details/home/getdata

What can I do to get it to resolve properly?

$(document).ready(function () {

            oTable = $('#example').dataTable({
                "bServerSide": true,
                "sAjaxSource": "Home/GetData/",
                "bProcessing": true,
                "bPaginate": true,
                "sPaginationType": "full_numbers",
                "bFilter": true,
                "bAutoWidth": false,
                "fnServerData": function (sSource, aoData, fnCallback) {
                    /* Add some extra data to the sender */
                    //aoData.push({ "filtervalue": $('#filtervalue').val(), "Options": $('#Options').val() });
                    $.getJSON(sSource, aoData.concat($('form').serializeArray()), function (json) {
                        /* Do whatever additional processing you want on the callback, then tell DataTables */
                        fnCallback(json)
                    });
                }
            });

        });

Did you try puting a leading slash before the Ajax Source?

"sAjaxSource": "/Home/GetData/"

UPDATE

As stated in the comments below, hardcoding the URL could cause problems later down the line.

Darin has already posted about using the built in URL helpers so I wont edit my post to include that info. I do it a slightly different way as documented here:

Create Extension methods of UrlHelper to generate your url from Route

I've found this way of working to be extremely helpful when working with a front end team. They found it really easy to understand the Url.RequestedPage() format and it meant they didn't need my help everytime they wanted to link or request something.

Absolutely always use URL helpers when dealing with urls in ASP.NET MVC. Absolutely never hardcode urls as you did.

So:

"sAjaxSource": "@Url.Action("GetData", "Home")"

and if this is in a separate javascript file, you could use HTML5 data-* attributes on the #example:

<div id="example" data-url="@Url.Action("GetData", "Home")">
    ...
</div>

and then in your separate js you could use the .data() method:

"sAjaxSource": $('#example').data('url')

I think your path should be 

"sAjaxSource": "/home/details/home/getdata",

and shouldn't getdata be a filename like getdata.php or something

"sAjaxSource": "/home/details/home/getdata.php",
