Hi there,
I'm having problems with my jQuery AJAX call for my shop.

I've made a hidden page with a clean template - so it's a normal page with HTML.
When i try to run my AJAX it doesn't call the right page.

The AJAX page is called "AJAX.aspx" and the  testpage is "AJAXTest123.apx".
<script type="text/javascript">
function addToCart(productid)
{
	var url = "/AJAX.aspx?productid="+productid+"&cartcmd=add";
	$.ajax({
		type: "GET",
		url: url,
		dataType: "html",
		cache: false,
		success: function(data) {
			document.write(data);
		}
	});
}
addToCart('PROD420');
</script>
It keeps redirecting to the testpage (AJAXTest123) - and running and endless loop there.
How come?

I think: When you add to cart, you write out all the response with document.write (line 11 in your example. That triggers the addToCart function to be run again, and again...). So remove that line or change it to alert();

If i'm making it into an alert it just show me the content of AJAXTest123.aspx and not the AJAX.aspx-page.

I need to have a URL to this page in order to see what is going on...

Edited: URL removed.

Found the solution by myself - added &redirect=/AJAX.aspx to the URL.

Otherwise use this excellent guide on how to create AJAX AddToCart functionality without wrinting custom code
