JQuery Validation using Remote posts empty data to webservice

Question

I'm using the JQuery Validation plugin. I'm using the remote option to make a call to my webservice to check if a company name exists. The webservice only accepts JSON data.

I pass the data to the webservice from the Company Input Field in my Form as follows:

data: "{'company': '" + $('#Company').val() + "'}"

But this always returns a blank value for company so the response is {'company':''} i.e. correct JSON but missing the Company Input Field value.

Can anyone shed some light on why I always get a blank value here?

Thanks for the help, Ciaran

Try this:

data: {
    company: $('#Company').val(),
    param: 1  //Second paramenter
              //you can keep adding parameters folloiwng the format 
}
