Hi Folks,
I'm wondering if there is a way to get a function to wait until an
external Ajax.Request has completed. As always, I find an example is
the best way to describe my issue:
var buildPage = {};
buildPage = Class.create();
buildPage.prototype =
{
initialize: function() {
this.RS = [];//hold json data for later use
...
this._getData(1);
},
_getData : function(a) {
var url = (a==1) ? 'url1' : 'url2';
new Ajax.Request (url), {method:'get',
onSuccess : function(transport){
this.RS = transport.responseText.evalJSON();
if (a==1) this._drawPage;
});
},
_drawPage : function () {
//parse this.RS data with template
...
},
_refreshData : function () {
this.getData(2);
//wait until _getData reports success then continue
this._drawPage();
}
};
So this buildPage class reuses the _getData method calling a different
URL depending on what is passed to it. What I want the _refreshData
method to do is call the _getData method, and only when it has
successfully refreshed the RS array, call the _drawPage method.
Is this possible? should I be doing it a different way?
Many thanks
George
