jQuery.post dynamic data callback function
- by FFish
I have a script that requires quite e few seconds of processing, up to about minute. The script resizes an array of images, sharpens them and finally zips them up for the user to download.
Now I need some sort of progress messages.
I was thinking that with jQuery's .post() method the data from the callback function would progressively update, but that doesn't seem to work.
In my example I am just using a loop to simulate my script:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('a.loop').click(function() {
$.post('loop.php', {foo:"bar"},
function(data) {
$("div").html(data);
});
return false;
});
});
loop.php:
for ($i = 0; $i <= 100; $i++) {
echo $i . "<br />";
}
echo "done";
