Jquery post success variable scope
- by minirobot
Hi,
I'm trying to return the ajax success array from one function to another. For some reason I don't seem to be able to pass the data stored in a variable in the success part of the ajax function into the parent function to return.
Thanks so much for any assistance.
Here's a simplified version of the code:
// make json_to_return global
var json_to_return;
function loop_through_data(){
// call the load_days function and put its array data into days_array
var days_data = load_days(03,2010);
// I'd like to be able to iterate through days_data here
//
//
}
function load_days(selectedMonth, selectedYear){
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
dataType: "json",
url: "../includes/get_availability.php",
data: "month=" + selectedMonth + "&year=" + selectedYear,
success: function(available_json){
json_to_return = available_json;
},
error: function(msg){
alert("error " + msg);
}
});
return json_to_return;
}
