Can you stop a defered callback in jquery 1.5?
- by chobo2
Hi
I am wondering say you have something like this
// Assign handlers immediately after making the request,
// and remember the jqxhr object for this request
var jqxhr = $.ajax({ url: "example.php" })
.success(function(response) { alert("success"); })
// perform other work here ...
// Set another success function for the request above
jqxhr.success(function(response){ alert("second success"); });
So I am thinking this. I have a general function that I want to use on all my responses that would be passed into my success.
This function basically does a check to see if the server validation found any errors. If it did they it formats it and displays a message.
Now I am wondering if I could some how have the second success function to then do specific stuff. Like say One ajax request needs to add a row into a table. So this should be possible. I just do what I have above and in the second success I just add the row.
Is it possible though that if the first success runs through and see that there are validation errors from the server that I can stop the second success from happening?
Sort of
If(first success finds errors)
{
// print out errors
// don't continue onto next success
}
else
{
// go to next success
}
Edit
I found that there is something call deferred.reject and this does stop it but I am wondering how can I specify to stop only the success one. Since my thinking is if there are other deffered ones like complete on it will the be rejected too?
