Getting A Return Boolean For An Asynchronous Request?
Dec 24, 2009
I'm trying to get a return boolean or something I could use to then do another asynchronous request have my first has completely finished.
I'm messing around with Javascript on this basic PHP blog I built and I have a table of articles and one of the table columns is published/unpublished. I'm trying to have when they click the icon it will connect to MySQL, update the current row with new publish value (opposite of current) then refresh the div id element that the publish/unpublish icon is in to reveal the new status. I built a class for my javascript requests so most values are stored in global properties.
I think what I'm coming across is when I click the icon it updates the table but before that onreadystatechange can hit 4 my request for the new content is going through so the request url I'm using as well as the return div id for the responseText are getting mixed up between trying to do a sql update, loading the responseText in "message" then trying to sql query for the new results and loading that responseText in "content".
Something like..
url = "?table=articles&value=1&id=2";
http.onreadystatechange = this.stateChange;
http.open("GET" , url , true)
[Code]....

I have some trouble with my app. User enters his login&pass, they are being checked on server using ajax, and if they're ok, i wanna open new page, which'll set cookies and session vars, but i have an universal script, and I need request something like universalScript?mode=login (mode is GET) and some POST parameters such as login and pass, besides it must be new page, not ajax, Some ideas?

Anyone know how to return true or false to an event handler based upon the results that come back from a Prototype Ajax.Request call?
I have a link with an onclick handler that calls a function getLoggedIn(), which looks like the following:
function getLoggedIn(type) {
ajax = new Ajax.Request(
'includes/checkloggedin.php',
{
method: 'get',
parameters:'&type='+type,
onComplete: checkLoginResult
});
}
As any analysis of request.responseText occurs in checkLoginResult(), not getLoggedIn(), how can I pass an Ajax-response-determined return value back to the event handler?

Is there a way to write this simpler?
function makeOpposite(a) {
if(!a) {
a = true;
}
else {
a = false;
}
}

I'm trying to modify this function code...
which works for a checkbox to one that works for a button.
I guess I'm stuck on what to replace "checked" with there in the 3rd line.
is there some one word answer, or do I need to I rewrite the function to be more button-friendly?

I have a simple JS function that I want to return a true or false value
based on the parameter passed in. At this point of time I receive the
error "'True' is undefined". Here is my code below.
JS Function -
function ShowSpecifiedPeriod(pShowPeriod){
document.mfperformance.ShowPeriod.value = pShowPeriod
document.mfperformance.method = 'get'
document.mfperformance.action = 'composite_requestdata.asp'
document.mfperformance.submit();
}
ASP Event Handler -
onclick="ShowSpecifiedPeriod(<%If bShowPeriod = false then
Response.Write true else Response.Write false%>)"
The ASP variable bShowPeriod is set based on the hidden form field
"ShowPeriod" and the initial value is set to false.
More than likely this has to do with the boolean Parameter but I am not
sure how to handle this in JS. I have tried the following but receive
the same results.
function ShowSpecifiedPeriod(boolean pShowPeriod) - Same Error
function ShowSpecifiedPeriod(pShowPeriod boolean) - Same Error
Please let me know what I am doing wrong here.

I am very new to javascript and html. I am trying to create a function which will hide or show a div (div1). Right now, it is always showing the div whether the boolean value is true or false. I know that it is getting inside the else if part, but it doesn't seem to be working.
<script type="text/javascript">
function hideDiv(flag){
if (flag == false){
document.getElementById('div1').style.visibility="visible";
}else if (flag == true){
document.getElementById(div1).style.visibility="hidden";
}}
var bool = new Boolean(true)
hideDiv(bool);
</script><body>
<div id="div1">
Text!
</div></body>

I worked with now in jQuery. Property however at present the following problem: [i]I provide a AJAX Request. the side is loaded, the parameters all conveyed and back receives I a complete HTML side. Now I would like to have only certain elements however from this side, like DIV, SPAN etc. How can I make with the AJAX Request return in such a way best, which I can select these elements thereby? Simply it would be unfortunately not functioned over the function $ (element), it even if I indicate the HTML Request as secondly parameter.[/i] Excused, for my bad English. ;-) Translatertool. There is unfortunately too many words, in order to describe my problem. ^^

I have a php page which returns a table representing a query sent to a MySQL database. So far it has worked in every case except now that I'm trying to use it to call a stored procedure, in which case the readystate is staying at 1 and never completing.
I have logged the results of the php file both in an error log and looked at the response from the request using firebug, both of which show a correct result.
Why isn't this returning properly?
Here are the relevant javascript functions:
Code:
function customizeType()
{
$("custom-header").innerHTML = "";
$("custom-top").innerHTML = "";
[Code]....
After the page loads, the error log shows correct results for all queries.

I am using AJAX and coldfusion, and am having trouble getting some
alerts to work. I am using the http object in javascript:
var url="add_item.cfm"
oXmlHttpadditem=GetHttpObject(addStateChanged);
oXmlHttpadditem.open("GET",url,true);
oXmlHttpadditem.send(null);
then, in add_item.cfm, I am just using:
<script type="text/javascript">window.alert("Hello World
");</script>
but the alert isn't being displayed. I assume this has to do with
client-side/server-side issues, but can someone please clarify why
this doesn't work, and perhaps offer a fix or alternative solution?

I think it's okay to ask this question in this group, but if not please
point me to the correct one!
How does one go about doing asynchronous updates between two web
clients? Take Google Chat for example... how does Google Chat update a
chatter's chat window with text entered by the other chatter?

I'm having (once again) tremendous problems with IE (7), trying to create an application that behaves properly.
This time, it's with Ajax calls triggered by a button click, which do not behave asynchronously.
Here is the highlight of what I'm trying to achieve: a button clicked sends an ajax call to the server whilst the call is made and until the callback function has returned (or an error has been identified), a "wait" animation is triggered. (in the case below, simulated by appending a status in a div)
To achieve this, I decide to use .ajaxStart(), .ajaxStop() and .ajaxError() to trigger the wait animation. It works perfectly in FF and Chrome, but (as usual) not in IE. In IE, when I press the button, the button remains depressed until the ajax call is finished, and then all statuses are dumped at once onto screen. Not very asynchronous...
Here is my code:
If I uncomment line 11 and uncomment the alert, it seems that this forces IE to do things in the proper order. Obviously that's not a solution however...
Will I have to (once again) write IE-specific code to get things working properly?

I'm in the process of trying to shave off as much load time from my site as possible :) I notice that this takes a heck of a long time to load:
[Code]...
Is there a better way I can do this? Maybe using AJAX with ASynchronous? (like we're doing with GAnalytics on the site)

I've got a script that, onload, loops through every tag on the page (getElementsByTagName ('*')) and can be pretty slow on some of my pages with MANY tags.
What I'm wondering is if there's some way I can tell the browser to run the script asynchronously, without locking up the browser while it loops through all the tags and adds its objects and properties to them?
I'm pretty sure I've made the script about as effecient as possible. There's just no way around checking all the tags.

I need to create a callback for a line of code that performs asynchronous work so that another a line of code can be called after it is finished. I've found a number of webpages that attempt to show how this can be done with two functions, one calling the other in Russian-doll fashion, but I can't see how to do it with my code.It takes the URL of a sound file, redefines a previously defined embed to point at that sound file, and then plays it. The problem is that I lose focus on the documentElement that was selected before the playIt() function is called. So in the playIt() function I save the focused element in a variable and focus() it after the embed-switcheroo and autoplay is performed. This doesn't work, because the "e.parentNode.replaceChild(clone, e);" is performed asynchronously; when it finishes, it clears the focus in the document (internal id's have changed? Reason unknown.) So I need the focus() code to follow the replaceChild() code. I want to accomplish this by having the focus() code execute as a callback following the replaceChild() code. How would I break this into two procedures, one calling the other, reproducing a synchronous flow?

I'd like to process several blocks of parallel actions, but in a sequential manner.
As an example:
Thus, I want to process blocks, from which I don't know how long they will take and afterwards have a couple of actions, before beginning with another block. I already tried it through using .queue, .ready() etc, but that leads to very ugly or unusable code..

Can I do the following without my program crashing? [code]...
I have created an application that does something similar to the code I just posted. However, my program crashes intermittently. Sometimes it will crash after calling jQuery.get() a few times (with several http requests still pending). Other times it will get through all of them just fine.
I want to know if Ajax can handle that many asynchronous requests without crashing? Can someone look at this to see if there is something I am missing?

If this is synchronous, normal json request, I can capture the result (data) and return it to a calling function.
However jsonp is not synchronous. Whilst the data IS returned, and I can view it from within the success function, but I cannot access it after that.
$.ajax({
url: remote_url,
async: false,
cache: false,
[Code]....
I am building a library of functions which call this function, so I cannot have the data processing done within the success function, I need to extract the data itself.

Anyone loading a bunch of CSS or Javascript via <link> tags on a web page knows about "blocking": where the browser stops the loading of the page because it has to go fetch (and read/parse) an external file. If you have a lot of these, or even if you don't and the user has a slow connection, you have a slow page. Users hateses teh slow pages, hatses them.
At the 2010 Fronteers Conference, Stoyan Stefanov gave a talk on Progressive Downloads and Rendering, where he listed some tricks to get around blocking by Javascript or other external files to make page load speed up. One trick was adding a <script> tag in the body (near the bottom, so after the important stuff has loaded) which adds a <script> tag to the <head> dynamically and runs it. While that file is being fetched, the rest of the page can continue to load. This is a bit asynchronous, isn't it (similar to web pages still loading content while also fetching images)?
As a follow-up to his Higher Order Javascript article (see SitePoint thread about it), Piers Cawley has gone further with Asynchronous Streams, where he uses jQuery (as an example) to load external files asynchronously to avoid blocking of the HTML document loading. In my web development career I haven't worried about blocking, but plenty of folks around here are loading ginormous files, and lots of them, for large sites. As developers, what do you do to get around slow page loads? Have you done anything like this asynchronous calling of the external files?
