title: Jquery ajax / getJSON not ever getting to MVC ActionResult in Controller
body: <p>For some reason...maybe looking at too many different examples...this is one of those things that I am just not getting.  I am attempting to use the google maps api within an MVC app and then use JQuery to get data from the app to build the map with.  The problem is I can't ever actually get to a break point on the action result (unless I type in the url manually)...</p>
  
  <p>In its most basic form the html includes an onload event...</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;body onload="initialize()"&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>which in turn calls my JQuery function...</p>
  
  <pre><code>function initialize() {
      $.GetJSON("/App/Map", MakeMap(mapdata));
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have tried the syntax a bunch of different ways based on things I've read like...</p>
  
  <pre><code>function initialize() {
      $.GetJSON("/App/Map", null, function (mapdata) { MakeMap(mapdata); });
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And no matter what I do...I never get to the controller with it.  Any help with this would be greatly appreciated because I am just not getting it. </p>
  
  <p>Also if anyone knows any good books on JQuery that would deal with this sort of thing, suggestions are welcome because I think its time to get myself an early Christmas present ;)</p>
  
  <p>EDIT:  I should also add that I have tried changing up the URL part of the request as well with no luck.  The page that is doing the requesting is the /App/Index with is set to the home page for the application</p>
