I have to be missing something simple, but I'm really not sure what. I'm not a JS veteran, so this may be an easy answer - sure hope so :).
I have a button that, when clicked, gets JSON data. When a drop-down is changed, I check to see if there is data, if there is, I want to clear it out as the drop-down indicates what data to retrieve when the button is clicked
The Code:
var selected, $locDialog;
var locations = [];
$(function() {
// Save the selected Name
selected = $("#selected option:selected").val();
// Setup Dialog for Locations
$locDialog = $('#location-dialog').dialog({
autoOpen: false
});
// If user changes the selected
// 1. Prompt for confirmation
// 2. If users confirms, clear data
$('#selected').change(function() {
if (locations) {
var confirmed = confirm("Oh Rly?");
if (confirmed) {
// Clear data
var locations;
}
}
});
// When user clicks "Location" Button..
$('.loc-select button').click(function() {
if (!locations) {
$.getJSON("/Controller/JSONAction", { selectedId: selected, pageNum: 1, pageSize: 100 }, function(data) {
locations = data;
$.each(locations, function(index, loc) {
var $tr = $('<tr/>')
.append($('<td/>')
.append('<input type="checkbox" name="TEST-'+index+'" value="'+loc.Id+'"/>'))
.append('<td>' + loc.Name + '</td>');
$("#location-dialog table tbody").append($tr);
});
});
}
$locDialog.dialog('open');
return false;
});
});
Here's the thing, Inside the .click(...) callback, I can see locations is []. Now, when I am in the .change(...) callback, I see locations is undefined.
Any help/insight, as always, is appreciated!
