passing multiple parameters to .asmx from jquery ajax GET

html

<a onclick="testGetParametersDynamic2();">fill in names and check it out</a>
<br />
<p>Enter First Name</p>
<input id="myFirstName" type="text" />
<br />
<p>Enter 开发者_StackOverflow中文版Last Name</p>
<input id="myLastName" type="text" />
<div id="outputGET3"></div>

c#

[WebMethod(EnableSession = true)]
[ScriptMethod(UseHttpGet = true)]
public string testGetParametersDynamic(string firstName, string lastName)
{
    string fullName = firstName + lastName;

    return fullName;
}

I have tried multiple ways of entering data bc I think this is where the problem lies

attempt 1

function testGetParametersDynamic2()
    {
        $.ajax(
        {
            post: 'GET',
            contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
            dataType: 'json',
            data: '{"firstName":"' + $('#myFirstName').val() + '","lastName":' +
                    $('#myLastName').val() + '"}',
            url: 'UtilitieService.asmx/TestGetParametersDynamic',
            success: function (result)
            {
                var test = result.d;
                var outputDiv = $('outputGET3');
                outputDiv.html(test);
            },

            error: function ()
            {
                alert('Fail Test Get Dynamic');
            }
        });
    }

attempt 2:

function testGetParametersDynamic2()
    {
        $.ajax(
        {
            post: 'GET',
            contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
            dataType: 'json',
            data: "firstName" + $('myFirstName').val() + "&lastName" + $('myLastName').val(),
            url: 'UtilitieService.asmx/TestGetParametersDynamic',
            success: function (result)
            {
                var test = result.d;
                var outputDiv = $('outputGET3');
                outputDiv.html(test);
            },

            error: function ()
            {
                alert('Fail Test Get Dynamic');
            }
        });
    }

both times I get this error:

Invalid web service call, missing value for parameter: \u0027firstName\u0027

I hope that you use [ScriptMethod(ResponseFormat=ResponseFormat.Json)] attribute for the web method or set the same information in the web.config in case of the usage .NET 4.0.

It seems to me that your first attempt was almost correct, but you should replace

data: '{"firstName":"' + $('#myFirstName').val() + '","lastName":' +
                    $('#myLastName').val() + '"}',

to the

data: '{"firstName":"' + $('#myFirstName').val() + '","lastName":"' +
                    $('#myLastName').val() + '"}',

(the starting double-quote was skipped before the $('#myLastName').val()).

I strictly recommend you don't use manual serialization to JSON. For example if the text from $('#myFirstName').val() or $('#myLastName').val() will have '"' or '\' characters, that the characters must be escaped with additional backslash ('\') (see here). Instead of manual serialization you should use JSON.stringify function from the script json2.js which you can download from the http://www.json.org/js.html or here. In recent web browsers the function are native implemented and json2.js use the native implementation if it take place.

The data parameter of $.ajax could be rewritten as the following:

data: {
    firstName: JSON.stringify($('myFirstName').val()),
    lastName: JSON.stringify($('myLastName').val())
}

or in some situation even as

data: {
    firstName: function() { return JSON.stringify($('myFirstName').val()); },
    lastName: function() { return JSON.stringify($('myLastName').val()); }
}

For more information see this old answer and probably also this.

UPDATED: Sorry the correct version without the usage JSON.stringify could be without the data usage:

url: 'UtilitieService.asmx/TestGetParametersDynamic?firstName=' +
     encodeURIComponent('"' + $('#myFirstName').val() + '"') +
     '&lastName=' + encodeURIComponent('"' + $('#myLastName').val() + '"')

I strictly recommend you to use always only the JSON.stringify version which I described above.

• Your first attempt is passing the paramaters as a json string.
• Your second attempt is missing = signs.

You can pass a object to data, and jQuery will serialize it properly.

$.ajax(
        {
            post: 'GET',
            data: {
                firstName: $('myFirstName').val(),
                lastName: $('myLastName').val()
            },
...

Pass multiple parameters using json

data: "{'RecomendeeName':'" + document.getElementById('txtSearch').value + 
                       "'," + "'tempdata':'" +"myvalue" + "'}",
