Hi pradip,

you have not answered my question.

did u check your response via [size=2]browser [/size][size=2] console [/size][size=2]for your request[/size][size=2].[/size]

[size=2]

[/size]

[size=2]when your controller returned something then only it get displayed in VIEW. so please confirm your controller method.[/size]

[size=2]

[/size]

[size=2]you should try to identify where is the problem… in MODEL or VIEW or CONTROLLER :([/size]
