I have used $.post before, now trying $.ajax, here is the code. I don't know why it aint working.

I don't to know how to debug this thing as well, whenever I run this. I get error alert box

    $.ajax({ 
        type: 'POST',
        url: 'Handler1.ashx',
        data: { formula: "formulaId" },
        error: function (result) {
            alert('error');
        },
        success: function (result) {
            alert('success');
        }
    });

Handler1.ashx in the same folder

namespace RegistrationHTML.HTML
{
    public class Handler1 : IHttpHandler
    {

        public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext context)
        {
            Console.Out.WriteLine("hi");
            context.Response.ContentType = "text/plain";
            context.Response.Write("Hello World");

            Console.Out.WriteLine("hi");
        }

        public bool IsReusable
        {
            get
            {
                return false;
            }
        }
    }
</div>

Try specify the dataType:

$.ajax({ 
        type: 'POST',
        url: 'Handler1.ashx',
        data: { formula: "formulaId" },
        dataType: 'html', // or 'text' 
        error: function (result) {
            alert('error');
        },
        success: function (result) {
            alert('success');
        }
    });
