Instead of onSuccess, try using onComplete... -- Sent from my Palm Prē evilC wrote:
Thanks TJ, I tried to make a self-contained version, so I ripped out prototype and did the same thing with object literals, and I still had issues, so clearly it wasnt prototype. In the end I figured out that the button which fired off the AJAX request (ie the "Submit" button) was inside a form (I did not want it to actually do an HTTP POST submission of the form, just call JS code) and I had not disabled the form with onsubmit='return false', so when I clicked submit, it was submitting the form, thus destroying the button that made the AJAX call before the reply came back. I had noticed that putting an alert or delay into the script caused it to work and was tearing my hair out - obviously the delay stopped the button being destroyed long enough for the AJAX request to come back. Oh the joys of Asynchronous web coding. I now have a slightly different problem, with the same button... Once the AJAX reply comes back that the data was updated, I want to destroy the form. But it won't let me. I guess for a similar reason to my explanation above - the button started the call, and it is in the response code that I wish to destroy it, so it technically hasn't finished yet. I hope that all makes sense. If not, I will try and rig some self contained code using the system you linked - I guess for the ajax request I could just get it to grab a css file or something off the server? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prototype & script.aculo.us" group.
