Calling jQuery Function with Javascript Function
11,366
Solution 1
You're not telling us enough. I will just take a guess!
If you are calling this function, and then immediately checking $.d for the results, that is not going to work because you don't allow time for the asynchronous AJAX request to complete...
reload_data();
alert($.d); // What?! It's not displaying the updated results?!
You'll have to utilize a callback structure, like jQuery uses, in order to make it work...
reload_data(function() {
alert($.d);
});
function reload_data(func) {
$.getJSON("data/source", function(data) {
$.d = data;
//Execute the callback, now that this functions job is done
if(func)
func();
});
}
Solution 2
Put an Alert in side the function to know its getting called.
and a try catch around the jQuery call to see if there is an error
function reload_data() {
alert('reload_data start');
try{
$.getJSON("data/source", function(data) {
$.d = data;
});
}
catch (ex){
alert ('error in jQuery call:' + ex)
}
}

Having some trouble getting this to work, specifically with $.getJSON(). I want to wrap the getJSON function from jQuery in a Javascript function like so:
function reload_data() { $.getJSON("data/source", function(data) { $.d = data; }); }
But when I call reload_data() it doesn't execute the jQuery function inside. Any ideas?
