        }
    });
}

when i alert the url it just display this <?php Mage::getUrl('quick/controllers/add_to_minicart');?> how can i get the url of my custom controller

Best Answer

you forgot an echo before Mage::getUrl. 

var url = "<?php echo Mage::getUrl('quick/controllers/add_to_minicart');?>";

If you are doing this in a javascript file it won't work. Js files don't interpret <?php ?> tags.

What you can do instead is to change your function to look like this

function minicartAjax(url){
    jQuery.ajax({
        url: url,
        dataType: 'json',
        success: function(data){
            //Your minicart html
            alert("hii");
        }
    });
}

and in the template that calls this javascript, call it like this

minicartAjax('<?php Mage::getUrl('quick/controllers/add_to_minicart');?>')
