Hi, JB...
I never did get back to your question about transferring variables
between functions, but took up this question in another thread.
Here's what I posted in answer to another poster's question:
Also, since I've having the same problem with too much jQuery/AJAX/HTML
going into a single page, I'd like to know more about how you're
structuring your code with the includes and pulling your needed
code into a DIV.
Can you give an example that demonstrates this "framework" that you use?
Thanks,
Rick
Here's the response to transferring variables...
---------------------------------------------------------
Here's a method that I'm using to pass data from
an ajax response to another function: (I'm starting
with the success: section of an ajax call)
success: function(response) {
if ( response.MESSAGE == 'Success' )
{ populateStoryTable(response); }
else { alert(Rats! No good!); }
That makes all of the data sent back in "response"
available to reference in the function "populateStoryTable".
It's transferred to the populateStoryTable function by using
populateStoryTable(response) {
...whatever code I want to run...
That's just a way to directly link the functions with the
data they need.
Michael, this is the method you're referring to which calls
the next function that's needed when the data is ready.
I've used this method of putting variables inside the () after
a function call to pass data all around.
If I do an inline function call, I can use "myFunction(story_id)"
to pass a story_id to the "myFunction" function.
I'm just learning about this stuff, really, so I'm sharing how
I'm managing to make some of the jQuery and especially ajax stuff
work.
I've been working for a month trying to get an ajax app finished
that I could have completed in a day with standard "page-to-page"
processing, passing variables through url's and session, but I'm
bound and determined to make this work. I keep writing and re-writing
the app as I learn more.

Subject: [jQuery] Re: Managing scripts in AJAX applications
Hey...
I am using ColdFusion as well on the FuseBox Framework.
I have somewhat of a slick way to handle the js resources, it was
great at first but the more screen/interfaces I have the more
difficult it becomes to manage the js. I basically have a .cfm page
with html and dynamic data with none of the HTML Doc tags, that I pull
in via AJAX and inject into a div. I use get jQuery.getScript( url,
callback ) to pull the supporting script in for the HTML I got from
the server.
I'de be interested in learning how your transferring variables between
functions.
Thanks
