jquery ajax progress bar - jquery-ui

I am trying to setup a ajax progress bar for my site. Sometimes multiple ajax calls are chained together Here is my code
var xhrs = [];
function ajaxCall(){
xhr = $.ajax({
...other ajax code...
success: function(data){
anotherAjaxCall(data);
}
});
xhr.onreadystatechange = reportStatus;
xhrs.push(xhr);
}
function anotherAjaxCall(data){
xhr = $.ajax({
...other ajax code...
});
xhr.onreadystatechange = reportStatus;
xhrs.push(xhr);
}
...lots more functions that make ajax calls....
function reportStatus(){
var overallPercent = 0;
for(i = 0; i < xhrs.length; i++){
overallPercent += (xhrs[i].readyState * 20);
}
var percent = overallPercent / xhrs.length;
alert(percent + " = " + overallPercent + " / " + xhrs.length);
//update progress bar
updateProgressPercentage(percent);
}
From the alert in the reportStatus function all happens is the first ajax call gets to readyState of 4 and it calls the second function that doesn't run the ajax call inside of it. Does anyone have any idea why the second function runs but that ajax call inside doesn't. Thanks in advance.

I believe you have the syntax wrong for the AJAX call with no parameters. Try changing
xhr = $.ajax({});
to
xhr = $.ajax();
The documentation says this is how you're supposed to call the function with no parameters: http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/

They changed it to use what they call jqXHR objects. These expose readyState, but do not allow for arbitrary setting of other values. See jQuery.ajax for more details. What you can try, however, is using the "xhrFields" option that was added in 1.5.1 to add your onreadystatechange callback.

I found out the answer. To do this i need to user jQuery 1.3.2. Version 1.4.2 must change the xhr somehow, version 1.5.1 completely changes it. Thanks for the responses everyone.

OpenLayers 3 - How can I abort pending ajax requests - ol.source.GeoJSON

I'm adding a layer with a source requested by ol.source.GeoJSON on moveend. How can I abort pending ajax requests if the map is panned again before the request finishes?
map.on('moveend', function(){
map.removeLayer(highlightedLayer);
var theSource = new ol.source.GeoJSON({
url: 'wfs.php?bbox='+bbox
});
var highlightedSource = new ol.source.GeoJSON({});
theSource.on('change', function(e){
if(theSource.getState() == 'ready'){
var features = theSource.getFeatures();
$.each(features, function(k,v){
if(v.n.filter == 'include'){
highlightedSource.addFeature(features[k]);
}
});
highlightedLayer.setSource(highlightedSource);
map.addLayer(highlightedLayer);
}
});
});
Instead of adding the layer directly at the moveend you could fetch the GeoJson with ajax (which can be cancelled) and when complated add geojson data using the object paramter instead of the url.
Heres the docs for GeoJSON source:
http://openlayers.org/en/v3.4.0/apidoc/ol.source.GeoJSON.html?unstable=true
Heres how you cancel a ajax request:

Rails 3: update URL params with AJAX request

I have a filter and a list of products (id, name, creation_date).
I can filter by id, name or creation_date. With an AJAX request I update a content div... but obviously the URL not change.
How can I append params to URL? For example:
localhost:3000/dashboard/catalog?name=radio&?date_creation=23-06-2013
I know that history.pushState(html5) exists... but I need that my app works in html4 browsers like IE9.
I tried Wiselinks (https://github.com/igor-alexandrov/wiselinks) which it uses History.js but it doesn´t use AJAX request.
Any ideas?
thanks
Finally I follow those RailsCasts tutorials:
http://railscasts.com/episodes/240-search-sort-paginate-with-ajax?language=es&view=asciicast
http://railscasts.com/episodes/246-ajax-history-state?language=es&view=asciicast
You are doing some AJAX call means, you must have invoked the AJAX part on radio button change
So I am assuming, you have done it using by radio button and the radio button name is 'choose_product'
You can add a hidden field in your view, where you can store your current date.
<div id='parentDiv'>
<%= hidden_field_tag 'current_date', Time.now.strftime('%d-%m-%Y') %>
Your radio button code
</div>
In the javascript add the following code. It is just a sample not complete solution.
$(document).ready(function(){
var showProducts = function(){
$("#parentDiv").on('click', "input[name='choose_product']", function(){
var ajax_url = 'localhost:3000/dashboard/catalog';
var url_param = '';
switch($(this).val()){
case 'creation_date':
var param_date = $('#current_date').val();
url_param = '?name=radio&date_creation=' + param_date;
break;
case 'name':
// Your code goes here
default:
//Your code goes here
}
// Here you will get the modified url dynamically
ajax_url += url_param
$.ajax({
url: ajax_url,
// your code goes here
});
});
}
showProducts();
});
A lot of time has passed, but it may be useful.
The code is also updated so if you have more then one ajax\remote link you will be able to merge the params of multiple urls.
Based on user1364684 answer and this for combine urls.
# change ".someClassA" or "pagination" to the a link of the ajax elemen
$(document).on('click', '.someClassA a, .pagination a', function(){
var this_params = this.href.split('?')[1], ueryParameters = {},
queryString = location.search.substring(1), re = /([^&=]+)=([^&]*)/g, m;
queryString = queryString + '&' + this_params;
#Creates a map with the query string parameters
while m = re.exec(queryString)
queryParameters[decodeURIComponent(m[1])] = decodeURIComponent(m[2]);
url = window.location.href.split('?')[0] + "?" + $.param(queryParameters);
$.getScript(url);
history.pushState(null, "", url);
return false;
});
# make back button work
$(window).on("popstate", function(){
$.getScript(location.href);
});

jquery ui spinner after ajax call

I'm trying to use the jquery ui spinner on forms dynamically inserted through ajax calls.
To handle ajax calls I'm relying on ajaxy.
On success I call this function like so:
response: function(){
var Ajaxy = $.Ajaxy; var data = this.State.Response.data; var state = this.state;
var State = this.State;
var Action = this;
Action.documentReady($content);
updater(); // THE FUNCTION TO BIND NEW ELEMENTS
return true;
},
Here's the function
function updater(){
$('.spin').spinner();
}
And this works without any problem. But then When I call that same function on "normal" jquery requests (not ajaxy ones), it doesn't work anymore:
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: url,
cache: false,
dataType:"json",
success: function(res) {
updateTarget(res,target,animation);
updater();
}
}
});
I really don't see why in one case it is working, while in the other it isn't...
I've figured it out... My error was that I was running updater() after updateTarget(res,target,animation);, which is the function that analyses the json response and attach html elements to the page, while I must run updater() inside updateTarget(res,target,animation); right after the attachment to the page through .html().

Can someone explain to me a few thing about this JQuery code I have here from the MVC Music Store tutorial

The thing that confuses me somewhat and it's probably due to the conventions in
the jquery ajax() request .post() function is that it does not indicate anywhere that if request is successful that it should call the handleUpdate() function which gets the returned json object via "var json = context.get_data();", also why is the whole chunk of code starting with "if (data.ItemCount == 0)" in the handleUpdate() identical to the one in the .post() on success run > function (data) { duplicate code } .
Maybe because function (data) {} is callback function it waits for the entire request/response cycle to finish and that includes "var json = context.get_data();" in handleUpdate() ?
Thanks..
Pasted from the tutorial PDF, no other jscript in this view.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
// Document.ready -> link up remove event handler
$(".RemoveLink").click(function () {
// Get the id from the link
var recordToDelete = $(this).attr("data-id");
if (recordToDelete != '')
{
// Perform the ajax post
$.post("/ShoppingCart/RemoveFromCart", { "id": recordToDelete },
function (data) {
// Successful requests get here
// Update the page elements
if (data.ItemCount == 0)
{
$('#row-' + data.DeleteId).fadeOut('slow');
}
else
{
$('#item-count-' + data.DeleteId).text(data.ItemCount);
}
$('#cart-total').text(data.CartTotal);
$('#update-message').text(data.Message);
$('#cart-status').text('Cart (' + data.CartCount + ')');
});
}
});
});
function handleUpdate()
{
// Load and deserialize the returned JSON data
var json = context.get_data();
var data = Sys.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer.deserialize(json);
// Update the page elements
if (data.ItemCount == 0)
{
$('#row-' + data.DeleteId).fadeOut('slow');
}
else
{
$('#item-count-' + data.DeleteId).text(data.ItemCount);
}
$('#cart-total').text(data.CartTotal);
$('#update-message').text(data.Message);
$('#cart-status').text('Cart (' + data.CartCount + ')');
}
</script>
The handleUpdate() function is a relic from the previous MVC2 version of the tutorial where the Ajax for removing items from the cart was handled by Microsoft's Ajax called via an Ajax.ActionLink helper. (see below)
This was changed to use JQuery Ajax in the MVC3 version of this tutorial but the handleUpdate() code has been left in it seems by mistake during the conversion from MVC2 to MVC3.
<script src="/Scripts/MicrosoftAjax.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/Scripts/MicrosoftMvcAjax.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/Scripts/jquery-1.4.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function handleUpdate(context) {
// Load and deserialize the returned JSON data
var json = context.get_data();
var data = Sys.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer.deserialize(json);
// Update the page elements
$('#row-' + data.DeleteId).fadeOut('slow');
$('#cart-status').text('Cart (' + data.CartCount + ')');
$('#update-message').text(data.Message);
$('#cart-total').text(data.CartTotal);
}
</script>
...
<%: Ajax.ActionLink("Remove from cart", "RemoveFromCart",
new { id = item.RecordId },
new AjaxOptions { OnSuccess = "handleUpdate" })%>
There is no way (according to this code) that handleUpdate is being called on success of $.post. Jquery post function has following syntax
$.post(url,data, callback);
and in the code you can see that all three parameters are explicitly specified and callback is an anonymous function with signature
function(data){}
Now, what you can see is that this anonymous function and handleUpdate are doing exactly the same logic. That makes me believe that they belong to the two different scenarios. For example, first scenario is that links are rendered using
Html.ActionLink(LinkText, ActionName, new{#class = "RemoveLink"})
In this case click event is handled by jquery function on the top and all the logic is done in this function (including ajax and callback). Second function might have been used for some
//please confirm all parameters of the function
Ajax.ActionLink(LinkText, ActionName, new AjaxOptions{onSuccess = "handleUpdate"});
and this seems to be connected with microsoftmvc ajax files that that used to exist in ancient times. You can put alert in each function and check what is the case with you.

.Ajax with jQuery and MVC2

Im trying to create an ajax (post) event that will populate a table in a div on button click.
I have a list of groups, when you click on a group, I would like the table to "disappear" and the members that belong to that group to "appear".
My problem comes up when using jQuery's .ajax...
When I click on the button, it is looking for a controller that doesnt exist, and a controller that is NOT referenced. I am, however, using AREAS (MVC2), and the area is named Member_Select where the controller is named MemberSelect. When I click on the button, I get a 404 stating it cannot find the controller Member_Select. I have examined the link button and it is set to Member_Select when clicked on, but here's the ajax call:
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: '/MemberSelect/GetMembersFromGroup',
success: function(html) { $("#groupResults").html(html); }
});
I havent been able to find any examples/help online.
Any thoughts/suggestions/hints would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Have you tried navigating to /MemberSelect/GetMembersFromGroup to see what you get? - if it's 404'ing it's because the route can't be matched to a controller/ action.
I've not used the new areas functionality, but I'm not sure that the URL you've got is correct...I would have thought it would have been /AREANAME/MemberSelect/GetMembersFromGroup...but I could be wrong..!
When I did this, it worked fine. I didn't use POST and I don't know what AREAS means.
$("#item").autocomplete({
source: function(req, responseFn) {
addMessage("search on: '" + req.term + "'<br/>", true);
$.ajax({
url : ajaxUrlBase1 + "GetMatchedCities/" + req.term,
cache : false,
type : "GET", // http method
success : function(msg){
// ajax call has returned
var result = msg;
var a = [];
if (result !== null){
for(var i=0; i < result.length; i++) {
a.push({label: result[i].prop1, id: result[i].prop2});
}
}
responseFn(a);
}
});
}
});
Use:
area_name/controller_name/action_name
Instead of doing $.ajax I would use jQuery Form Plugin.
and have my form set as:
Html.BeginForm("Index","AdminArea/Admin",FormMethod.Post,
new { id="form-user", name="form-user"})
To use jQuery Form Plugin have a look here:
http://arturito.net/2010/12/02/asp-net-mvc2-jquery-form-post-tutorial/
You cold save your url in a Hidden Form element in (Html.HiddenForm()) and use the #id javascript operator to retrieve it. Just found this out today.
