makerequest ajax,asp.net mvc - Make an AJAX request using $.ajax in MVC 4 - Stack Overflow

I am trying to make an AJAX request using $.ajax in MVC 4 with Razor. I'm not sure how to implement it.

Using this video I was able to successfully make a link-driven call that returned data, but I can't seem to do the same thing from inside a jquery function. I can't seem to find any basic examples of how to do this.

This is what I am working with:

HomeController.cs

public string test(){

return "It works";

}

View.cshtml

function inventory(dealerID) {

$.ajax({

url: '@Url.Action("HomeController","test")',

data: {dealerID: dealerID},

type: 'POST',

success: function(data) {

process(data);

}

});

}
