title: How to Call Controller Actions using JQuery in ASP.NET MVC
body: <p>I've been reading on this for a while and found that you can call a controller action by using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$.ajax("MyController/MyAction", function(data) {
      alert(data);
  });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Does this mean I should add the MicrosoftMvcAjax.js or the MicrosoftAjax.js along with the Jquery lib?</p>
  
  <p>Also, what should the second parameter contain in the $.ajax() function?</p>
  
  <p>Lastly, any other link in stackoverflow or outside of the site that could be helpful in asp.net mvc w/ ajax and jquery?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
