Problem with Ajax in jquery

Problem with Ajax in jquery

Hi All,

I am new to this jquery world. I am facing some problem while using Ajax in my jquery code.

I want to get some data (String ) from server using Ajax call.
below is my code:

    $.ajax({
              url: "./something.do",
              context: document.body,
              success: function(){
                alert("helo");
              }
        });
       
Or
        $.post("./something.do",null,function(data){    
            alert("come");          
        });   

I tried with both the ways with no success. Its not returning me anything. I am not able to find where I am doing wrong. even I dont know is this a way to use ajax in jquery?

when i am executing above statements, my back end method is calling and populating desired data but somehow i am not able to get that data back.. Intentionally i put the alert in method and even that alert is also not working.

Please do advise.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Azhar
