Jquery with ASP.NET MVC - calling ajax enabled web service?

Your main problem is that you use not absolute URLs in the ajax call. Wrong entries in web. Config can make also problems.

Moreover you use datatype: getMovies instead of datatype: 'json' and postData: yourData . The way with datatype as functions exist (see http://www.trirand.com/jqgridwiki/doku.php?id=wiki:retrieving_data#function ), but since jqGrid 3.6.5 you have more direct way inside of jsonReader to read the data returned from web server.

That is because the registered route in the global. Asax, will not be recognizing this . Svc file.

It will try to search for that controller with the action getmovies and will fail. Try out debugging using firebug. You can fix this by ignoring this route in the global.asax.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
