Answer 1

In order to post xml or html to the server, you first have to escape it and then decode on the server.

$.ajax({ type: "POST", url: "Home/GetResults", data: { inputxml: escape('<test></test>')}, success: function(msg) { var data = JSON.parse(msg); alert(data.Message); }, });

on the server, you would then decode it by:

HttpUtility.UrlDecode(inputxml);
