Data being sent as query string instead of Form data

Question

In my form I see that the data is being sent as Querystring instead of form data (that I expect it to).

My page:

@using (Html.BeginForm("AAForm", "Test", FormMethod.Post, new { id = "myAForm" }))
{
   <label for="a">A</label>
   <input id="aid" name="aname" style="width: 300px" required validationMessage="Select"/>
   <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" value="aa" > Go </button>
   }

ControllerSignature

public ActionResult GetValues(FormCollection formCollection){ //Some code }

And I am making an AJAX call to GetValues().

What could I be doing wrong? Pls let me know if I should be posting more information.

Another question: What is "_:" in the query string? And it has some random number value.

Thanks.

add an [HttpPost] attribute on your ActionResult.
