I have

XML

<button type="button" class="CleanButton" name="exportLink" onclick="ValidateOrder();">
            Complete
        </button>

my javascripts looks like,

JavaScript

function ValidateOrder() {
var jsonObject = { "EmployerName": $("#EmployerName").val(), "Address1": $("Address1").val(), "Address2": $("Address2").val(), "City": $("City").val(), "State": $("State").val(), "City": $("City").val() };  
            $.ajax({
            url: "/Verification/CompleteOrder",
            type: "POST",
            datatype: "json",
            data: JSON.stringify(jsonObject),
            contenttype: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
            success: function (mydata) {
                alert("success");
            },
            error: function () {
               alert("fail");
            }           
        });  }

and my controller looks like

C#

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult CompleteOrder(string jsonData)
{
    return RedirectToAction("Index", "Orders");
}

But I am getting empty json object , am I missing anything?

What happens when you debug the code? Is CompleteOrder actually returning anything?

Change the following line

JavaScript

var jsonObject = { "EmployerName": $("#EmployerName").val(), "Address1": $("Address1").val(), "Address2": $("Address2").val(), "City": $("City").val(), "State": $("State").val(), "City": $("City").val() };

to this

JavaScript

var jsonObject = { "EmployerName": $("#EmployerName").val(), "Address1": $("#Address1").val(), "Address2": $("#Address2").val(), "City": $("#City").val(), "State": $("#State").val() };

The issue is that for address 1,2,city and state you do not have the pound '#' sign, which indicates that jQuery should look for an element w/ the "id" specified.

Refer to this fiddle - http://jsfiddle.net/azvzK/[^], it works fine!

2nd issue is change the following

JavaScript

data: JSON.stringify(jsonObject),

to

JavaScript

data: { 'jsonData': JSON.stringify(jsonObject) },

Issue in this case is that the data passed to a method using $.ajax should have the key name matching with the parameter name in your action method

Hope this helps!
