javascript - Asp.net MVC 4 getJson work for create but not for edit. Seems to have an odd url in edit -

i'm writing mvc 4 app, have javascript function support couple of cascading dropdowns. javascript in js file , i'm trying use both create , edit view. works great create view, doesn't work edit view. i've looked @ network traffic using ie's developer tools, , notice url create call correct, controller/myactionmethod. url edit call controller/edit/controller/myactionmethod.

i using default route config, it's seems have worked fine, haven't delved deeply.

any thoughts on why controller/edit/ preappended url in edit case? idea how fix it?

i'll post code if it's useful, thought don't understand urls , routing.

thanks

here javascript

$(function () {     $.getjson("professiontypelist", function (data) {         var items = "<option>---------------------</option>";         $.each(data, function (i, professiontype) {             items += "<option value='" + professiontype.value + "'>" + professiontype.text + "</option>";     });     $("#professiontypeid").html(items);    }) }); 

the following line

$.getjson("professiontypelist", 

will generate url of form

http://domain.com/controller/actionname/professiontypelist 

i.e. append professiontypelist @ end of url.

you should try make explicit url complete path. in cshtml file, can using @url.action("professiontypelist")
