Jquery, ajax() and each(), how to wait untill all info is really loaded?
- by Moustard
Hello, I have a function using $.ajax() to get values from an XML file, when the info is loaded and success event is fired, I use $(xml).find('').each(function(){}); to populate some vars...
function getData()
{
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
url : 'info.xml',
dataType: 'xml',
success: function(xml)
{
$(xml).find('DATAS').each(function()
{
date = new Date($(this).attr('DATE'));
alert(date);
})
//Here I have a bigger find/each that should take more time
},
error: function()
{
return false;
}
});
}
In this case, when I trigger the function from the document ready function, the alert shows the right data, but If I remove the alert from the function and try this instead, date wont be defined yet:
$(document).ready(function()
{
if(getData() != false)
{
alert(date);
}
});
I guess in this case the data is not ready yet?
Is there a way to keep control on when the whole each() traversing is finished and ready?
