jQuery 1.3.2, ASP.NET 2.0. Making an AJAX call to a PageMethod (WebMethod) returns the full/whole page instead of just the response. A breakpoint on the page method shows it's never getting hit. I have the [WebMethod] attribute on my method, and it is public static, returns string and accepts no params. I even tried adding [ScriptService] at the top of my class to see if it helped, but it did not.
I have seen this post Jquery AJAX with ASP.NET WebMethod Returning Entire Page which had my same symptoms, but I am still having a problem. I read http://encosia.com/2008/05/29/using-jquery-to-directly-call-aspnet-ajax-page-methods/ and I feel like I'm following this to the T, but still no luck.
The jQuery call I'm making is:
jQuery.ajax({
type: 'POST',
contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
data: '{}',
dataType: 'json',
url: 'MyPage.aspx/SomePageMethod',
success: function(result){
alert(result);
}
});
The request/response headers, as per Firebug in FF3, are as follows

I've added a ScriptManager to my page just for kicks to see if it helped, but no luck there.
Any suggestions?
Do you know that Page Methods are working properly? If you use the the ScriptManager do they work?
It sounds like you might be missing a web.config entry. Specifically the HttpModules section.
