Reading data from JSON reply with JQuery

I've been having trouble accessing this piece of content in a json object. Here is my code for fetching data:
function getEntries(key){
$.ajax({
url: "https://openlibrary.org/api/books?bibkeys=ISBN:" + key + "&jscmd=details&callback=mycallback",
dataType: "jsonp",
success: function(data){
console.log(data);
}
});
}
The reply I get looks like this:
How do I access the pointed object if the key is different for every search?

Try using
data["ISBN:"+key]
Where key is the key you are passing to the function

I think I found it after all...
function getEntries(key){
$.ajax({
url: "https://openlibrary.org/api/books?bibkeys=ISBN:" + key + "&jscmd=details&callback=mycallback",
dataType: "jsonp",
success: function(data){
console.log(data["ISBN:"+key]);
}
});
}
did the trick.

Run if/else script with only part of a URL

I am trying to edit my Javascript to pull different data via an AJAX call based upon only part of a URL. Currently, my if/else script looks like this:
if (window.location.href=="london") {
$.ajax({
url: '../financial-reports/outwork-vs-expenses-data-london.php',
dataType: 'json'
}).done(function(data) {
data.forEach(function(item) {
dates.push(item.date);
expenses.push(item.expense);
outworks.push(item.outwork);
expensesOutworks.push(item.expensesOutwork);
budgetedOutworks.push(item.budgetedOutwork);
myExpensesChart.update();
});
});
} else {
$.ajax({
url: '../financial-reports/outwork-vs-expenses-data.php',
dataType: 'json'
}).done(function(data) {
data.forEach(function(item) {
dates.push(item.date);
expenses.push(item.expense);
outworks.push(item.outwork);
expensesOutworks.push(item.expensesOutwork);
budgetedOutworks.push(item.budgetedOutwork);
myExpensesChart.update();
});
});
}
This doesn't work as currently written since if window.location.href=="london") is only part of the URL, not the full URL. Is there a way to edit this script to run only based off of the last bit of the page URL? For example: /london, /nw, etc.? Is there a better way to accomplish this task?

Instead of
if (window.location.href=="london") {
Use below code
var URL = window.location.href;
if(URL.indexOf("london") !== -1)
The .indexOf function will find out a substring is exist or not in a string. And in your case you wants "london" is exist or not in URL.

I assume you are asking, when the url something like 'https://example.com/london' , so you just want to include or get the value of london. below code will help to provide always last bit of value of the url.
window.location.pathname.splitOnLast('/')[1]
it will give you '/london'. or you can just check the existence of theondon in the url.

Firstly it is not necessary to use if else like above
You can use like below
var dataurl = document.URL
$.ajax({
url: 'somepage.php',
type: 'post',
dataType: 'json',
success: function (data) {
console.log(data);
},
data: dataurl
});
in somepage.php file you can process the data however you want based on the dataurl
And also in javascript you can do like below
var urlTopost="other.php";
if(document.url.indexOf("london")!==-1)
{
urlTopost="london.php";
}
$.ajax({
url: urlTopost,
type: 'post',
dataType: 'json',
success: function (data) {
console.log(data);
},
data: dataurl
});

pass data($post) to php file using javascript without callback

I need to pass data from HTML page to PHP page But without data callback ....
i'm used two method but One of them did not succeed
1)
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: 'phpexample.php',
data: {voteid: x },
success: function(data)
{
alert("success! X:" + data);
}
});
2)
$.post("getClassStudent.php",
{
},
function(data){
$("#div_id.php").html(data);
}
);

as i can understand, you just want to send info to a php script and don't need the response, is that right?
try this
$.post("phpexample.php", {voteid:x});
or simply remove the "succes" function from the equation if you feel more confortable using $.ajax instead of $.post
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: 'phpexample.php',
data: {voteid: x }
});
your fisrt example is correct, the second is not well formed.
more info:
http://api.jquery.com/jquery.post/
EDIT: to help you some more :)
<button type="button" id="element-id">click</button>
<button type="button" class="class-name">Click</button>
$(document).ready(function(){
//if you are marking ans element by class use '.class-name'
$(".class-name").click(function(){
$.post("getClassStudent.php");
});
//if marking by id element use '#id-name'
$("#element-id").click(function(){
$.post("getClassStudent.php");
});
});
be carefful with the markings, for debuggin try to use "console.log()" or "alert()" so you can see where is the problem and where the code crushes.

var formData = {
'voteid' : 'x',
};
$.ajax({
type : 'POST',
url : 'phpexample.php',
data : formData, // our data object
dataType : 'json',
encode : true
}).done(function(data) {
console.log(data);
});

Making Key Value pair for the form elements in JavaScript

I have a module where the forms created are dynamic. So the number of inputs can defer always. Also, the array key can also defer.
My current method of posting form is this:
name = form_options[option_1] value = 1
On submitting the form using POST, I get the form as array in $_POST, which looks like this.
form_options(
option_1 => 1
)
But, now I am trying to implement the same thing using AJAX. So, I would need a common module to get all form values.
I found a way to do it.
var objectResult = $('#options_form').serializeArray();
console.log(objectResult);
This gives me a result like this:
0: Object
name: "form_options[option_1]"
value: "1"
How can parse this result to get an array like $_POST array, which I can send as data in AJAX.
P.S: All the form elements have name field as form_options[key]

You should use this for get post data in PHP file.
// You can use like this
var objectResult = $('#options_form').serializeArray();
$.ajax({
type: "POST", // Enter Request type GET/POST
url: 'action.php', // Enter your ajax file URL here,
dataType: 'json', // If you are using dataType JSON then in php file use die( json_encode($resultArray) );
data: objectResult, // Put your object here
beforeSend: function(){
alert('before');
},
error: function(data) {
console.log(data);
},
success: function(response){
console.log(response);
}
});
// In php file get values like this way
$_POST['form_options']

try like this,
In JQuery:
var objectResult = $('#options_form').serializeArray();
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'yoururl'',
data: objectResult ,
success:function(data){
alert(data);
}
});
In your php:
<?php echo var_dump($_POST);?>

You can use jquery serialize with ajax directly, there is no need to use serializeArray:
$.ajax({
type:"post",
url:"formHandleSkript.php",
data: $("#options_form").serialize(),
success: function(response){
$(".result").html(response);
}
});

Appending service name in jQuery.ajax url parameter

If I was to set up future ajax calls using:
$.ajaxSetup({
url: '/WebServices/AjaxService.asmx',
type: 'POST',
dataType: 'json',
contentType: 'application/json; charset=utf-8'
});
Is there any way I could append the service name in future calls? Like this:
$.ajax({
url: '+=/ServiceName'
});
Or is a global variable my best option?

Not the way you are suggesting (although $.ajaxSetup.url could be used that way), but you may want to create an object that has the path fixed and you can set the service method name:
function Service(){
var path = 'http://myserver';
this.getServiceUrl = function(serviceName) { return path + '/' + serviceName; };
}
...
var s = new Service();
$.ajax({
url: s.getServiceUrl('myServiceName'),
...
});
Or something like that. I hope that helps.

$.ajaxSettings will allow you to access the ajax settings. You could then go:
$.ajax({
url: $.ajaxSettings + "/ServiceName"
...
});
