how to use window.location to call a page method?

Question

I am trying to hit my server side method in my asp.net app. Why is this not working? btw I cant use jquery in this case.

server:

        [WebMethod(EnableSession = false)]
        public static string HelloWorld()
        {
            //do something
        }

client

<script type="text/javascript">
  window.location.href = "http://localhost//default.aspx/HelloWorld";
</script>

Answer 1

Your javascript works for me. Looks like you have an extra / between localhost and default.aspx. Perhaps you mean:

window.location.href = "http://localhost/default.aspx/HelloWorld";

I'd try to log something on the server side, and go to that location directly to see if the server is setup correctly.
