MVC3 Controller returning JsonFile [closed]

I am having a problem with a json result. When calling from the jquery it is returning a file to be saved instead of executing the success function. The get jquery request occurs in the document.ready function.

Any help would be appreciated.

public ActionResult Locations()
    {
        LocationsModel lm = new LocationsModel();
        return Json(lm.getPins(), JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
    }

I have also tried:

public JsonResult Locations()
    {
        LocationsModel lm = new LocationsModel();
        return Json(lm.getPins(), JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
    }

The jquery is as follows:

$.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
        url: this.href,
        data: "{}",
        dataType: "json",
        success: function (msg) { getPins_success(msg); },
        error: OnError
    });

Thanks, Chris

Edit:

Never mind it was a duh. Once I moved the json request to another action in the controller and loaded the view it all worked out. Now I am having parsing problems but that is another issue all together.

you should use getJson instead.

For you it would be:

$.getJSON(this.href, function (msg) { getPins_success(msg); });

This will let you parse the return data as json.
