javascript setTimeout function out of scope.
- by Keyo
I am trying to call showUpload(); from within two setTimeouts. Neither works. It seems to be out of scope and I'm not sure why. I tried this.showUpload() which didn't work either.
$(document).ready(function(){
var progress_key = $('#progress_key').val();
// this sets up the progress bar
$('#uploadform').submit(function() {
setTimeout("showUpload()",1500);
$("#progressbar").progressbar({ value:0}).fadeIn();
});
// uses ajax to poll the uploadprogress.php page with the id
// deserializes the json string, and computes the percentage (integer)
// update the jQuery progress bar
// sets a timer for the next poll in 750ms
function showUpload() {
$.get("/myid/videos/uploadprogress/" + progress_key, function(data) {
if (!data)
return;
var response;
eval ("response = " + data);
if (!response)
return;
var percentage = Math.floor(100 * parseInt(response['bytes_uploaded']) / parseInt(response['bytes_total']));
$("#progressbar").progressbar({ value:percentage})
});
setTimeout("showUpload()", 750);
}
});
Thank you for your time.
