I'm trying to read from a list of threads as described in a file 'forum.xml'. I have come to realise that my GET request is not succeeding. Here is the XML file (which is not modifiable)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE forum SYSTEM "forum.dtd">
<forum>
<thread>
<title>Tea Party</title>
<posts>teaParty.xml</posts>
</thread>
<thread>
<title>COMP212 Exam</title>
<posts>crypto.xml</posts>
</thread>
</forum>
and here is my js. I have tested that the element at target is being selected.
//threadReader.js
//Gets and display list of threads
var Threads = (function() {
var pub = {};
var target = $( ".thread");
var xmlSource = 'forum.xml';
function showThreads() {
console.log("showThreads called");
console.log(xmlSource);
$({
type: "GET",
url: xmlSource,
cache: false,
success: function(data) {
console.log(data);
parseThreads(data, target);
}
});
}
function parseThreads(data, target) {
console.log("parseThreads called");
console.log(target);
console.log(data);
target.append("<ul>");
$(data).find("title").each(function () {
$(target).append("<li>");
$(target).append($(this).text());
$(target).append("</li>");
});
}
pub.setup = function() {
showThreads();
}
return pub;
}());
$(document).ready(Threads.setup);
any insight is always appreciated
Change this
function showThreads() {
console.log("showThreads called");
console.log(xmlSource);
$({
to
function showThreads() {
console.log("showThreads called");
console.log(xmlSource);
$.ajax({
Also be aware that your call to $(".thread") may not match any elements at the time you're calling it. Best to do that in your document ready handler.
This may help in future. To get the correct Jquery Ajax syntax
http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/
In your case, I guess this should fire the call.
function showThreads() {
console.log("showThreads called");
console.log(xmlSource);
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: xmlSource,
cache: false,
success: function(data) {
console.log(data);
parseThreads(data, target);
}
});
}

On a page I have a list of dates which I want to edit via AJAX.
Example:
<li>January 2015<a data-update_url="/frame_date/22/update/" class="update" id="update_framedate_22" href="javascript:void(0)">Edit</a>
When the user clicks on the Edit link, I catch element id and the edit link.
Than AJAX requests the update form from the server. And now I have to place the form instead of the element with the mentioned id.
In other words, in frame_date_update_show_get I need element's id. In the example below, I keep it in the global variable date_id. But inside me there is a protest: I was always taught that global variables is a bad practice. But in this case I don't know how to get along without the global variable date_id.
Could you give me some piece of advice: is my code acceptable or there is a better way to cope with the problem.
function frame_date_update_show_get(data){
$("#" + date_id).replaceWith(data);
}
function frame_date_update_get_data(){
date_id = this.getAttribute('id')
var cuaghtUrl = this.getAttribute('data-update_url');
$.ajax({
method: 'get',
url: cuaghtUrl,
success: frame_date_update_show_get,
error: fail
});
}
var date_id = ""
Use an anonymous function as success callback function and then call frame_date_update_show_get with an additional date_id parameter:
function frame_date_update_show_get(data, date_id) {
$("#" + date_id).replaceWith(data);
}
function frame_date_update_get_data() {
var date_id = this.getAttribute('id')
var cuaghtUrl = this.getAttribute('data-update_url');
$.ajax({
method: 'get',
url: cuaghtUrl,
success: function(data) {
frame_date_update_show_get(data, date_id);
},
error: fail
});
}
I would use contenteditable combined with AJAX this way:
function dateChange(options){
switch( options.action ) {
case 'update':
if( options.id && options.text && options.updateUrl ) {
$.ajax({
method: 'post',
url: options.updateUrl,
data: {
id: options.id,
html: options.text
},
success: function(response) {
options.element.html( response );
options.element.removeClass('editing');
},
error: function(err) {
console.log( 'request failed: ' + err.text );
}
});
};
break;
default:
console.log( 'action invalid' );
return false;
break;
};
};
var editTimeout = null;
$('li[data-update-url]').on('input', function(e) {
var thisText = $(this);
thisText.addClass('editing');
clearTimeout( editTimeout );
editTimeout = setTimeout(function() {
var updateUrl = thisText.data('updateUrl');
var id = thisText.data('id');
dateChange({
'action': 'update',
'element': thisText,
'id': id,
'updateUrl': updateUrl,
'text': thisText.html()
});
}, 1000);
});
.editing {
color: orange;
}
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<ul>
<li data-update-url="/echo/html/" data-id="update_framedate_22" contenteditable>January 2015</li>
</ul>
Check how it works on JSFiddle.
This code would be easy to expand for other actions you may need, as delete, add.
I am new to AJAX. Recently, I read a block of code that set url to the function itself. In this case, it is get Path. Normally, we will set url to other pages to get data or something. I do not know what it means to set url to the calling function itself. Could you help answer my question?
<script type="text/javascript">
function getPath()
{
var startLat = $('#startLat').val();
var startLng = $('#startLng').val();
var desLat = $('#desLat').val();
var desLng = $('#desLng').val();
var departure = $('#departure').val();
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "getPath",
dataType: "json",
data: { "startLat": startLat, "startLng": startLng, "desLat": desLat, "desLng": desLng, "departure": departure},
success: function (response) {
if(response.success) {
$('#result').val(response.data);
console.log('Reponse.success is true');
}
else {
console.log('Response.success is false');
}
},
error: function(e) {
}
});
}
</script>
function getPath() <-- function
url: "getPath", <-- string
They are not related. Only thing in common is the developer had the same name. The page will post to some location called getPath on the server.
It doesn't mean anything other than the fact that the url the POST request is being sent to happens to be "getPath". The function is probably named according to the route name on the server side, but renaming that function (and updating every place it is called accordingly) would have no effect, and you would have to leave the url: "getPath" as is. Changing that part would likely break something.
That getPath would be a relative url, so the request goes to something like: http://example.com/path/to/parent/of/current/page/getPath
suppose your HTML input URL
<input type="url" id="web_url" value=""></input>
Then you can get your URL
<script type="text/javascript">
function getPath()
{
var startLat = $('#startLat').val();
var startLng = $('#startLng').val();
var desLat = $('#desLat').val();
var desLng = $('#desLng').val();
var departure = $('#departure').val();
var url = $('#web_url').val(); // getting input URL by User
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url:url ,
dataType: "json",
data: { "startLat": startLat, "startLng": startLng, "desLat": desLat, "desLng": desLng, "departure": departure},
success: function (response) {
if(response.success) {
$('#result').val(response.data);
console.log('Reponse.success is true');
}
else {
console.log('Response.success is false');
}
},
error: function(e) {
}
});
}
</script>
I have constructed an app with push state. Everything is working fine. However in some instances my jquery function are fireing multiple times. That is because when I call push state I bind the particular js file for each page I call. Which means that the same js functions are binded many times to the html while I surf in my page.
Tip: I am using documen.on in my jquery funciton because I need my function to get bound to the dynamical printed HTML through Ajax.
I tried to use off in the push state before printing with no success!
Here is my code:
var requests = [];
function replacePage(url) {
var loading = '<div class="push-load"></div>'
$('.content').fadeOut(200);
$('.container').append(loading);
$.each( requests, function( i, v ){
v.abort();
});
requests.push( $.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: url,
dataType: "html",
success: function(data){
var dom = $(data);
//var title = dom.filter('title').text();
var html = dom.find('.content').html();
//alert(html);
//alert("OK");
//$('title').text(title);
$('a').off();
$('.push-load').remove();
$('.content').html(html).fadeIn(200);
//console.log(data);
$('.page-loader').hide();
$('.load-a').fadeIn(300);
}
})
);
}
$(window).bind('popstate', function(){
replacePage(location.pathname);
});
Thanks in advance!
simple bind new function with blank code
$( "#id" ).bind( "click", function() {
//blank
});
or
used
$('#id').unbind();
Try this,
var requests = [];
function replacePage(url) {
var obj = $(this);
obj.unbind("click", replacePage); //unbind to prevent ajax multiple request
var loading = '<div class="push-load"></div>';
$('.content').fadeOut(200);
$('.container').append(loading);
$.each(requests, function (i, v) {
v.abort();
});
requests.push(
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: url,
dataType: "html",
success: function (data) {
var dom = $(data);
//var title = dom.filter('title').text();
var html = dom.find('.content').html();
//alert(html);
//alert("OK");
//$('title').text(title);
obj.bind("click", replacePage); // binding after successfulurl ajax request
$('.push-load').remove();
$('.content').html(html).fadeIn(200);
//console.log(data);
$('.page-loader').hide();
$('.load-a').fadeIn(300);
}
}));
}
Hope this helps,Thank you
I've looked over a lot of 'similar' q&a threads on SO but to be honest, as I don't have too much of a grip on js programming, I'm finding it difficult to make sense of a lot of the answers (as far as they may apply to my own situation).
The context is this, I have two php scripts one returning a list of customer_ids (json encoded) for a set period and the other returning their preferences for news feeds (json encoded).
I wrote the following, having googled a bit to get a basic understanding of how to setup an ajax function in jQuery:
$('document').ready(function() {
$.ajax({
type:'GET', url: 'cust_selection.php', data: '',
succes:function(cstmrid) {
var clistlen = cstmrid.length;
var i=0;
var cstmr;
for( ;cstmr=cstmrid[i++]; ) {
$('#adminPanel>ul>li').append("<a href='' onclick='alert("+cstmr+")' class='lst_admin basic'>"+cstmr+"</a>"); //alert to be replaced with a function call which passes customerid to the function below.
}
},
dataType:'json'
});
var cstmrid = "483972258"; //hardcoded for testing purposes
$.ajax({
type:'GET', url:'newsfpref.php?', data:'cref='+cstmrid,
success:function(npfdata) {
var item;
var n=0;
for( ;item=npfdata[n++]; ) {
var news = npfdata[n].nsource;
$('#adminMain>table>tbody').append("<tr><td>"+item+"</td></tr>");
}
},
dataType:'json'
});
});
Now from the first ajax function, I get a list of links which I want to be able to click to launch the second ajax function and pass it the customer id so that it can grab a list of the news sources that they've configured for their pages.
The alert and the hard-coded customer id both suggest that the functions are 'working', but when I try and adjust the first function so that:
...
$('#adminPanel>ul>li').append("<a href='' onclick='getCustomerNP("+cstmr+")' class='lst_admin basic'>"+cstmr+"</a>");
... is calling a modified version of the second function, as below:
...
function getCustomerNP(cstmrid) {
$.ajax({
type:'GET', url:'newsfpref.php?', data:'cref='+cstmrid,
success:function(nprfdata) {
var item;
var n=0;
for( ;item=npfdata[n++]; ) {
var news = npfdata[n].nsource;
$('#adminMain>table>tbody').append("<tr><td>"+item+"</td></tr>");
}
},
dataType:'json'
});
}
Everything seems to just fail at this point. The second function doesn't seem to 'receive' the variable and I'm not sure if it's something elementary that I've overlooked (like some muddled up " and ' placements) or if what I am trying to accomplish is actually not the way jQuery ajax functions interact with each other.
As you can see, I've cannibalised bits of code and ideas from many SO q&a threads, but copying without much of an understanding makes for a frustratingly dependent life.
I would appreciate as much - expansive - comment as you can provide, as well as a solution or two (naturally).
EDIT: Not to confuse anyone further, I've been modifying the above and correcting my (many) errors and typos along the way. At present, the code looks like below:
$('document').ready(function () {
$.ajax({
type: 'GET', url: 'cust_selection.php', data: '',
succes: function (cstmrid) {
var clistlen = cstmrid.length;
var i = 0;
var cstmr;
for (; cstmr = cstmrid[i++]; ) {
var a = $("<a href='' class='lst_admin basic'>" + cstmr + "</a>").click(function () {
getCustomerNP(cstmr)
})
$('#adminPanel>ul>li').append(a); //alert to be replaced with a function call which passes customerid to the function below.
}
},
dataType: 'json'
});
function getCustomerNP(cstmr) {
alert(cstmr);
}
});
You've got a typo in the $.ajax() success function within getCustomerNP(). The function declaration:
success:function(nprfdata) {
... has a parameter nprfdata, but then within the function you use npfdata (missing the r).
Also this code:
var item;
var n=0;
for( ;item=npfdata[n++]; ) {
var news = npfdata[n].nsource;
$('#adminMain>table>tbody').append("<tr><td>"+item+"</td></tr>");
}
...declares and sets variable news that you never use. And it doesn't seem right to increment n in the for test expression but then use n within the loop. You never set item to anything but you use it in your .append().
(Note also that JS doesn't have block scope, only function scope, so declaring variables inside an if or for loop doesn't limit them to that if or for block.)
I would not create inline onclick handlers like that. I'd probably do something more like this:
$('#adminPanel>ul>li').append("<a href='' data-cstmr='"+cstmr+"' class='lst_admin basic'>"+cstmr+"</a>");
...and then within the document ready setup a delegated event handler to catch the clicks on those anchors:
$('#adminPanel>ul>li').on('click', 'a.lst_admin', function() {
$.ajax({
type:'GET', url:'newsfpref.php?', data:'cref='+ $(this).attr('data-cstmr'),
success:function(npfdata) {
var item,
n=0,
// cache the jQuery object rather than reselecting on every iteration
$table = $('#adminMain>table>tbody');
// increment n only after the current iteration of the loop
for( ;item=npfdata[n]; n++) {
// change to use item
$table.append("<tr><td>"+item.nsource+"</td></tr>");
}
},
dataType:'json'
});
});
As you append your like with <a href='' onclick='getCustomerNP("+cstmr+")', Make sure you can access the function getCustomerNP.
Try to define getCustomerNP as
window.getCustomerNP = function(cstmrid) {
...
If you defined it in the $(document).ready(function(){ ... }) block, try this
$('document').ready(function () {
$.ajax({
type: 'GET', url: 'cust_selection.php', data: '',
succes: function (cstmrid) {
var clistlen = cstmrid.length;
var i = 0;
var cstmr;
for (; cstmr = cstmrid[i++]; ) {
var a = $("<a href='' class='lst_admin basic'>" + cstmr + "</a>").click(function () {
getCustomerNP(cstmr)
})
$('#adminPanel>ul>li').append(a); //alert to be replaced with a function call which passes customerid to the function below.
}
},
dataType: 'json'
});
function getCustomerNP(cstmrid) {
$.ajax({
type: 'GET', url: 'newsfpref.php?', data: 'cref=' + cstmrid,
success: function (nprfdata) {
var item;
var n = 0;
for (; item = npfdata[n++]; ) {
var news = npfdata[n].nsource;
$('#adminMain>table>tbody').append("<tr><td>" + item + "</td></tr>");
}
},
dataType: 'json'
});
}
});
Here's the code:
$.ajax({
url: 'AEWService.asmx/previewAsset',
type: "GET",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
data: json,
success: function (json) {
var prevObj = jQuery.parseJSON(json.d);
setInterval(function () {
var pId = $('#previewIframe').contents().find('[preview-id]');
$.each(prevObj, function (i, item) {
pId.each(function () {
var pElem = this.attr("preview-id");
if (pElem == item.Id) {
$(this).html(item.Value);
}
});
});
}, 3000);
}
});
this is a DOM node, not a jQuery object. Please read the .each() documentation and have a look at the examples.
Actually you already seem to know that, since you are calling $(this).html()...
Try to change this.attr("preview-id") to $(this).attr("preview-id")
like you use this in $(this).html(item.Value)
Hope this help you.
