I apologize if this gets posted twice, but it looks like my last
attempt to post got swallowed by the ether.
I'll make it short:
I have flot and ui tabs. Because I'm processing a rather large set of
data, and excanvas, switching the datasets graphed takes a few
seconds. I want to add feedback, so that when a tab is clicked, it's
title changes to "Loading..." and then when the graph is drawn, it
switches back to it's original text. I have this working, but the
changes only show when I step through with a debugger. When I run
normally, it appears as if the changes to the text to "Loading..." and
back to the default aren't being displayed until the click handler is
finished, which makes it appear as if nothing is actually happening.
I've searched through the jquery books I have (learning jquery and the
jquery reference) as well as online documentation and I can't find
anything that confirms or denies this behavior as being proper.
Does anyone know how I can get the following to work and actually
display the results of the .text() calls inside the click() instead of
after the .click() has processed? Thanks in advance
(pseudo)
$(tab_selector).click(function() {
$(clicked_tab).text("Loading");
[Flot calls to change the datasets and redraw the graph]
$(clicked_tab).text("Previous Text");
});
