[jQuery] issue with ajax function

[jQuery] issue with ajax function


Hi,
I'm trying to send a string to my webservice. The method I call
expects a string parameter and returns a string of JSON data.
I've tried this way :
$.ajax({
url: "Publication.asmx/GetPublication",
data: "pText=some text",
type: "POST",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
});
in which case I get the following error and the webservice is not even
reached :
Invalid JSON primitive: pText
and this way :
$.ajax({
url: "Publication.asmx/GetPublication",
data: "pText=some text",
type: "POST",
dataType: "json",
});
in which case the webservice is reached but then when the ajax call
returns I get the following error :
parseerror
What do i need to do to fix this ?
Thanks
