Hey guys I have an issue while trying to make an ajax call in an external js file in MVC. I am trying to call a JSONResult method in my controller. The ajax hits the success function but my JSON result never gets hit. Can someone point me in the right direction.

Hidden field in cshtml to hold the path to the controller

HTML

<input type="hidden" value="@Url.Action("GetNetworkData", "NetworkSetting")" id="NetworkData" />

Js File

JavaScript

var url = $('#NetworkData').val();
      // alert(url);
       var url = $('#NetworkData').data('url');

       $.ajax({
           url: url,
           cache: false,
           type: 'GET',
           contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
           data: {},
           success: function (data) {
               alert('success');
           }
       });

C#

[HttpGet]
       public JsonResult GetNetworkData()
       {
           string s = "Will return data here";
           return Json(s, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
       }

I know the url passed to the ajax call is correct as when I paste it directly in the URL it gets called. Any help is very much appreciated.

Thanks..

First try with manual url code if your json is working then put that url as dynamic
And why you have mentioned two time url there I could not understand.

//var url = $('#NetworkData').val();
      // alert(url);
       var url = "ControllName/GetNetworkData";//If it will work then same thing put in networkdata

       $.ajax({
           url: url,
           cache: false,
           type: 'GET',
           contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
           data: {},
           success: function (data) {
               alert('success');
           }
       });
