Server side textbox value is always empty string in case of webservice

I'm using tokenInput jquery plugin for autocomplete. This script is working fine

<script type="text/javascript">
        $(document).ready(function () {
            $.ajax({
                type: "POST",
                contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
                url: "/WebService1.asmx/HelloWorld7",
                data: "{}",
                dataType: "json",
                contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
                success: function (data) { $("#<%=demo.ClientID %>").tokenInput("http://shell.loopj.com/tokeninput/tvshows.php");
                },
                error: function (XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) {
                    alert(textStatus);
                }
            });
        });
    </script>

but when I replace the line 

$("#<%=demo.ClientID %>").tokenInput("http://shell.loopj.com/tokeninput/tvshows.php");

with 

$("#<%=demo.ClientID %>").tokenInput(data.d);

it shows me autocomplete, but in button click event it shows demo.Text as empty string.I checked the response in firebug and the response is 

{"d":[{"__type":"TestForMySite.fb","Id":1,"name":"ALABAMA"},{"__type":"TestForMySite.fb","Id":2,"name":"ALASKA"}]}

According to the documentation, your JSON Array is not in the correct format. It should be:

[
    {"id":"856","name":"House"},
    {"id":"1035","name":"Desperate Housewives"},
    ...
]

You have Id where it should be id.
