I am using the following scrip to post data into ASP.Net
$.post(window.location, { name: "John", time: "2pm" })
In my page_load event , I am checking Request.Forms.AllKeys but the count is comming as zero.
My form is
<form name="aspnetForm" method="post" action="Default.aspx" onsubmit="javascript:return WebForm_OnSubmit();" id="aspnetForm">
$.post is a AJAX call by jQuery. It has nothing to do with the post on your form.
You can use a PageMethod to achieve what you are trying:
Create in your codebehind something like
[WebMethod]
public static void HandleMyPost(string name, string time)
{
//do something
}
Then add a ScriptManager control to your .aspx page, and set EnablePageMethods="true".
Then call your method from JavaScript (where your $.post is now) through
PageMethods.HandleMyPost(function() {}, "John", "2pm")
PageMethods to produce a simple AJAX post.
jQuery.post by calling the page using pagename.aspx/handlemypost/; so you don't have to stick to ASP.Net ajax. This is just the most easy to implement, convenient solution.That code should work. Here's what i did to test
In my code behind i have:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
foreach (var key in Request.Form.AllKeys)
{
// do stuff here.
}
}
On the page i have:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function()
{
$('#btn').click(function()
{
$.post(window.location, { name: "John", time: "2pm" });
return false;
});
});
</script>
<input type="button" id="btn" value="Click Me" />

When i click the button and have a breakpoint on the foreach i can see the post values, there are two.
window.location this failed for me on IE 6.0 and Firefox 3.5.6 using jQuery 1.3.2.. When I changed to location.href (or location.pathname) it worked fine. What browser(s) are you using?The window.location object isn't a valid [url] argument for jQuery.post. You should use window.location.href instead:
// or the shorter location.href
$.post(location.href, { name: "John", time: "2pm" })
However, instead of failing, jQuery 1.3.2 (at least) falls back to its default ajaxSettings, which are (among other things):
ajaxSettings: {
url: location.href,
type: "GET"
}
Since it's issuing a GET request, you obviously won't see your data in the Request.Form collection.
