jqGrid and ASP.NET MVC URL posting problem

Question

Hi all,

I have a problem with jqGrid and ASP.NET MVC framework. Namely, jqGrid is working fine, until the point when I have in address bar URL like this:

http://[domain]/Controller/Action

It gives me JS error: "Object doesn't support this property or method".

When URL is like this:

http://[domain]/Controller

everything is working fine. Properties for jqGrid are:

url: '/Controller',
datatype: 'json',
mtype: 'POST'

etc.

Has anyone else encountered with this problem?

Thanks in advance, Dejan

Answer 1

If you're posting your action method needs this decoration:

[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]

Answer 2

The problem was inside the file "jquery.jsGrid.js". The path in variable "pathtojsfiles" was missing one backslash at the beginning.
