# AJAX Sending Null data when using IE

When I use an [AJAX request](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/157891/what-is-the-role-of-the-jsonresult-class-in-mvc-how-can-it-use-to-return-data-to-an-ajax-request) that sends data to [controller](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/273/passing-values-from-controller-to-view-in-asp-dot-net-mvc) with IE, it is sending null data. When I use Chrome or Firefox, my data from the key/value pairs are there in the controller's parameter [variables](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/715/php-variables).

**Here is my [javascript function](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/2090/send-data-from-asp-dot-net-code-behind-to-a-javascript-function):**

```
$(".input-group.date").datepicker({        autoclose: true    }).on('changeDate', function (ev) {        var schoolId = $(this).attr('data-schoolId');        var date = new Date(ev.date).toUTCString();        var schoolName = $(this).attr('data-schoolName');        $.ajax({            url: "@Url.Action("ChangeFulfillmentDate", "Admin")",            type: "POST",            data: {                'newDate': date,                'schoolId': schoolId            },            success: function (data) {                if (!data.success) {                    var n = noty({                        text: 'Hold up! Something went wrong...<br />' + data.message,                        layout: 'top',                        type: 'error',                        killer: true,                        closeWith: ['button']                    });                }                else {                    var n = noty({                        text: 'Fulfillment date for ' + schoolName + ' updated successfully',                        layout: 'bottomRight',                        type: 'success',                        timeout: 3000,                        killer: true,                        closeWith: ['hover']                    });                }            },            error: function (xhr, status, error) {                var n = noty({                    text: 'Hold up! Something went wrong...<br />' + xhr.responseText,                    layout: 'top',                    type: 'error',                    killer: true,                    closeWith: ['button']                });            }        });    });
```

The ajax response error I get is:

The [parameters](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/87/passing-parameters-in-c-sharp) [dictionary](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/1500/hashtable-and-dictionary-in-c-sharp) contains a null entry for parameter 'newDate' of non-nullable type 'System.DateTime' for method 'System.Web.Mvc.JsonResult ChangeFulfillmentDate(System.DateTime, Int32)' in 'CurrReplenishment.Controllers.AdminController'. An [optional parameter](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/1310/how-do-i-simulate-optional-parameters-to-com-calls) must be a [reference type](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/235/what-is-difference-between-value-types-and-reference-types-in-vb-dot-net-or-c-sharp-value-types-vs-reference-types), a nullable type, or be [declared as](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/2711/what-if-the-main-method-is-declared-as-private) an optional parameter.

## Parameter name: parameters

Why is my AJAX call not sending the proper values for the key/value pairs? I have made sure that there is data in those javascript variables, as it works in Chrome and Firefox.

Hi Ben,

It seems that ev.date is the problem, why don't you try something like this:

```
   
$(".input-group.date").datepicker({        autoclose:true,        onSelect:
function(selected) {            var date =new Date(selected);            /* Do something */        }    });
```
