Hi Try it after doing following change : In the header section remove 'Content-Type': 'application/json' and add 'dataType' : 'json' If the above method doesn't works try this also. Change headers :{ 'Content-Type': 'application/json' } to headers : { 'Content-Type' : 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' }
