Calling ASMX Web Service from Javascript

I want to call a webservice from javascript.

This is my code:

    var method="GetStock";
    var url = "http://www.mywebsite.ro/ServiceGetStock.asmx";
    $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: url + "/GetStock",
        data: "{variant_id='1'}",
        contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
        dataType: "json",
        success: OnSuccessCall,
        error: OnErrorCall
    });

    function OnSuccessCall(response) {
        alert(response.d);
    }


    function OnErrorCall(response) {
        alert(response.status + " " + response.statusText);
    }

My ServiceGetStock.asmx code:

 [WebMethod]
    public string GetStock(int variant_id)
    {
        try
        {

            ProductVariant variant = ProductVariantManager.GetProductVariantByID(variant_id);

            return variant.Stock.ToString();
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            return ex.Message;
        }
    }

I got the error message:

POST http://www.mywebsite.ro/ServiceGetStock.asmx/GetStock 500 (Internal Server Error)

[UPDATE]

I forgot to mention that I added in webconfig of project(with webservice) because I got the error:

XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://www.mywebsite.ro/ServiceGetStock.asmx/HelloWorld. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http:// localhost:11300' is therefore not allowed access.

  <httpProtocol>
          <customHeaders>
              <add name="Access-Control-Allow-Origin" value="*" />
              <add name="Access-Control-Allow-Headers" value="Content-Type" />
          </customHeaders>
  </httpProtocol>

Ok guys. I found the problem. When an ASMX file is created, you must read all comments lines. To allow this Web Service to be called from script, using ASP.NET AJAX, uncomment the following line.

 //[System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptService]

So the GetStock function is:

  [WebMethod]
     [ScriptMethod(ResponseFormat = ResponseFormat.Json)]
    public string GetStock(string variant_id)
    {
        SendEmail.SendErrorMail("in"+ variant_id);

        try
        {

            ProductVariant variant = ProductVariantManager.GetProductVariantByID(Convert.ToInt32(variant_id));

            return variant.Stock.ToString();
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            return ex.Message;
        }
    }

and the Ajax code is:

   var url = "http://www.mywebsite.ro/ServiceGetStock.asmx";
    $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: url + "/GetStock",
        data: "{variant_id:'1'}",
        contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
        dataType: "json",
        success: OnSuccessCall,
        error: OnErrorCall
    });

    function OnSuccessCall(response) {
        alert(response.d);
    }


    function OnErrorCall(response) {
        alert(response.status + " " + response.statusText);
    }

Problem solved! Thanks all for tips.......
