Someone already answered this, but you need to use an anonymous function as the
value of onComplete. You are passing it the *return* value of the update()
function which means you're actually executing it before the previous run has
finished executing. And you need to use 'new' since you're creating a new
object.
function update(values, index){
if(values.length <= index) return;
new Ajax.Updater(values[index], SOME_URL, {
onComplete: function() { update(values,index+1)}
});
}
Now, when currying support makes it into prototype (1.5.2?) you can do something
like this:
function update(values, index){
if(values.length <= index) return;
new Ajax.Updater(values[index], SOME_URL, {
onComplete: update.given(values,index+1)
});
}
