title: Ajax call to ASP.NET WebMethod not hitting server side method
body: <p>I'm trying to pass a single parameter to my code behind. I'm reaching the success end of ajax but the method in my aspx.cs code behind doesn't get called. I'm using a masterfile if it makes a difference.</p>
  
  <p>Javascript:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$(document).ready(function () {
      var someID = "";
      $('.glyphicon-trash').click(function () {
          $.ajax({
              type: "POST",
              url: "fileName.aspx/deleteSomething",
              data: "{'deleteSomeID':'" + someID + "'}", // someID is assigned to a value by another button
              contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
              dataType: "json",
              success: function (msg) {
                  alert("success"); // this alert works.
              }
          });
      });
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>fileName.aspx.cs:</p>
  
  <pre><code>protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
  { 
      //... stuff here
  }
  
  [WebMethod]
  public static void deleteSomething(string deleteSomeID)
  {
      MySqlDbUtilities db = new MySqlDbUtilities();
      MySqlCommand cmd;
      string sql = "DELETE FROM Targets WHERE targetID = @someID";
      cmd = db.GetCommand(sql);
  
      cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@someID", deleteSomeID);
  
      cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
      db.Dispose();
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The "someID" is filled when you click a button on the page. That is working properly, I triple checked. The method however doesn't do anything. I don't know if it's being reached either. Any ideas?</p>
