Calling controller method from view

hi,

I'm making the following call in my mvc view:-

JavaScript

$.get("/someController/strMethod",{ inStr: userInput }, function (data) {
$("#rData").html(data);
textbox.textContent=data;
}

C#

//controller method
public string strMethod(String inStr){
//manipulation
return inStr
}

This fails when userInput becomes too long and I run into the "Request URL Too Long" error. Do you have any suggestions on how i can work around this?

Thanks

Solution 1

$.get is going to append the parameter data into the url.
Url length is limited and hence you get the error.

Try $.post.
