Hi everyone, i recently tried to get some script off a remote server
through ajax. After days of searching and trying, i finally had it
working apart from appending the script inside the success function of
the ajax call, but the append script works outside of the ajax
function with a little hack(set up a delay) I have the code shown
below with more explaination.
<code>
/*****in page header********/
var flashHTML;
$.ajax({
url: "crossdomainURL",
data: { 'ClientID': '100', 'CatID': '11',
'LessonID': null, 'ClientUserID': null },
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "jsonp",
success: function(data, textStatus) {
//alert(data);
//alert(data.d); //NOTE: i can get the return
data here.
//alert(JSON.stringify(data));
flashHTML = data.d;
//$("#flash").append(flashHTML); //Note: if I
uncomment this line here, the html part of the flashHTML
//
will be shown on the page but the script will not excute.
},
error: function(err) {
alert("errr");
}
});
/*****in page body********/
<body >
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div id="flash"></div>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
setTimeout("showFlash()", 500); // Setup a time
delay, because the flashHTML is obtained from an ajax call, it will
NOT
// be
rdy without the delay.
function showFlash() {
$("#flash").append(flashHTML); // If i append the
flashHTML here, the script inside the flashHTML will be excuted.
// if
i comment this out and put it inside the success function of the ajax
call, it doesn't
//
work.
}
</script>
</form>
</body>
</code>
does anyone know whats the problem is? any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.
PS: i tried to set the ajax call the async: false, but it doesn't
work. I am not sure whether its a bug or what, but set async to false
doesn't have any effect on how the ajax function behaved.
