How to get $ajax to come back succesful

I have the following jquery that sends the data to a ashx file just as expected. So I get the information send it back with the ashx file but it keeps running the error code rather than the successful code. I',m not receiving error in ashx file, so not sure if I have to send a successful back or not. the 2nd set of code Is the ashx file. So can someone tell me what determines a fail or not.

thanks

 $.fn.serializeObject = function () {
                var o = {};
                var a = this.serializeArray();
                $.each(a, function () {
                    if (o[this.name] !== undefined) {
                        if (!o[this.name].push) {
                            o[this.name] = [o[this.name]];
                        }
                        o[this.name].push(this.value || '');
                    } else {
                        o[this.name] = this.value || '';
                    }
                });
                return o;
            };


$.ajax({url: 'AppHandler.ashx',
                type: 'POST',
                data: JSON.stringify($('form').serializeObject()),
                contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8',
                dataType: 'json',
                success: function (data) {
                    console.log(data);
                    alert(data);
                },
                error: function (errorText) {
                    alert("Wwoops something went wrong !");
                }
            });

Are you getting the alert from your ajax error function? If so, that means that the ajax call itself is failing. It has nothing to do with what's returned from AppHandler.ashx. To clarify, what I mean is that if you have an error clause in AppHandler.ashx, the ajax call will return that to the success function. The ajax error function is hit when there is something wrong with the call itself --- such as the data being returned not matching what's defined as the return data type in the call.

More specifically, I don't see where you're json encoding your returns from AppHandler.ashx

this line is what returns the data.

context.Response.Write(String.Format("Name :{0}, Address:{1}", myName, "test"))
Does this have to be encoded then?

I removed the dataType and contentType from the script and it worked fine.
