title: Calling simple web service (.asmx file) from AJAX and JQuery using JSON - parse error
body: <p>Making my first steps in trying to use all these technologies together.. I'm having some toubles..<br/>
  Here is my Server side:</p>
  
  <pre>
  [WebMethod(EnableSession = true)]
  [ScriptMethod(ResponseFormat = ResponseFormat.Json)]
  public string simplestMethod()
  {
    return "Simplest method returned";
  }
  </pre>
  
  <p>And here is my client side:</p>
  
  <pre> $(document).ready(function(){
     $("a").click(function(event){     
        $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: "http://localhost:53346/d2/TAPI.asmx/simplestMethod",
        data: "{}",
        contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
        dataType: "json",
        success: function (data) {
         alert(data.d);
        },
        error: function (XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) {
         alert("Error Occured!" +" | " + XMLHttpRequest +" | " + textStatus +" | " + 
         errorThrown );
        }
     });
    });
   });
  </pre>
  
  <p>The result is an alert that says: <br/>
  Error Occured! | [object XMLHttpRequest] | parseerror | undefined. <br/>
  What parsing failed and why? <br/>
  I should mention that calling the WS method directly does work. <br/>
  Thanks a lot!</p>
