MVC: Run Controller method from Javascript

Question

This seems easy but is not just working for me. I have the following code to run a method in my HomeController from my javascript file

JavaScript

function(id)
 alert("here");
 $.ajax({
   url: '/HomeController/MethodName,
   data: { id: id }
   success: function(data){
    alert('Sucess ' + data);      
  }
 });

My method is

C#

public string MethodName(int id)
{
   return id.ToString() + "test ";
}

The view calling the javascript has the following scripts defined: jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.min.js, MicrosoftMvcAjax.js, MicrosoftAjax.js, validate.unobtrusive.min.js, jquery.validate.min.js

But is is not just working. Nothing happens. The first alert of the function do show up. But nothing else after that.

Close, but not quite how it works. Here is a sample of how it should look.

JavaScript

$.ajax({
     type: 'GET',
     url: '/YourController/YourMethod',
     dataType: 'json',
     async: false,
     data: { arg1: 'arg1value',
             arg2: 'arg2value'
           },
     success: function (result) { alert(result); },
     error: function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
               alert( 'An error occured while loading: ' + textStatus + ": " + errorThrown + ": " + jqXHR.responseText );
           }
       });

C#

[HttpGet]
public JsonResult YourMethod(string arg1, string arg2)
{
   // Do something to get a result...
   string yourResult = "Some soft of result.";
   return Json(yourResult, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
