So I guess there are a few ways of looking at this, but I really wish I
could access both the evaluated JSON header and the container in the
same function. I want to call an Ajax.Updater, passing an onComplete or
insertion function. In whichever function I use I want to be able to
access both the container passed to the Ajax.Updater, and the X-JSON
object that has already been eval'd *in the same function*. Am I wrong
that this isn't (easily?) possible?
The insertion function gets the container and the transport.responseText
and the onComplete get the xhr and the X-JSON object. Why cannot one get
both? And yes, "this" is useless in both cases.
Ok, so some say the X-JSON and onComplete is only for "status" checking
or error checking. However, it doesn't feel right to use json and then
have to eval it myself in the insertion. I wouldn't be using json except
I'm working with tables and some browsers don't like inserting cells
into table with innerHTML.. So I'm passing either an array or a hash
through JSON and then looping through it to build each cell using DOM
and in a special case, one cell spanning the entire row.
Is there a better way to do this?
function myInsertion(container,response){
var res = json_decode(mytext);
if(res.form){
//single cell spanning all columns
}else{
//build table cells for each item in res
}
}
<tr id="blah>...</tr>
Ajax.Updater('blah','page.php',{insertion:myInsertion});
I'm trying to stay consistent by keeping json only in headers and html
only in the content of the response. I could eval the headers myself but
then it'd get eval'd twice, which could cause some unwanted behavior..
Thanks,
Colin
