I have a function which currently passes an account code (derived from a combo box) to the server. Currently it does this by sending the request in the body - I need it to send as a URL parameter. So for example the URL should be:

localhost:1234/myProject/WebApp/Data?accountCode=Full

Assuming full is selected.

My code below works as a request body but my attempts to amend it to submit as a URL request have failed.

 accountSelected: function () {

                var saccountCode = $(select#accountcombo).val();

                var stringAccountCode = saccountCode.toString()

                console.log(Account is:  + stringAccountCode);

                var myURL = WebApp/Data;

                $.ajax({

                    url: myURL,

                    type: POST,

                    data: {

                        accountCode: stringAccountCode

                    },

                    dataType: text,

                })

I have been looking at using $.param but couldn't get anything to work and also read on other questions about using $.get but when I change my code above to a GET i get an error
Request method 'GET' not supported - the server is expecting a POST request. Any way i could achieve this?

Thanks
