Yes, I thought that too. I've removed the contentType parameter. In
this case the webservice is reached.
But when the AJAX call returns I get the error 'parseerror' .
The webservice method looks like :
[WebMethod]
public string GetPublication(String pText) {
String result = "";
result = @"{""results"": [
{
""id"": ""4"",
""value"": ""guardian.co.uk""
}
]}";
return result;
}
