page_load called when calling webmethod using JQuery ajax

[Mr_B]

I'm trying to call a webmethod inside a aspx page but only the page load event loads.The webmethod:\[code\]<WebMethod()> _Public Shared Function Test() As String Return "hello"End Function\[/code\]The ajax call:\[code\]$.ajax({ type: "POST", url: "../Custom/Policy.aspx/Test", dataType: "text", success: function (data) { alert(data);}, error: function (request, status, error) { console.log(request.responseText); }});\[/code\]The funny thing is I managed to make it work in the past and even looked at the code but still I can't make it work and now I gave up....Any assistance will be appreciated.Thanks in advance.
