jQuery Ajax Request inside Ajax Request
Is it possible to make an ajax request inside another ajax request? because I need some data from first ajax request to make the next ajax request.
First I'm using Google Maps API to get LAT & LNG, after that I use that LAT & LNG to request Instagram API (search based location).
Once again, is this possible, and if so how?
$('input#search').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var source = $('select[name=state] option:selected').text()+' '+$('select[name=city] option:selected').text()+' '+$('select[name=area] option:selected').text();
var source = source.replace(/ /g, '+');
if(working == false) {
working = true;
$(this).replaceWith('<span id="big_loading"></span>');
$.ajax({
type:'POST',
url:'/killtime_local/ajax/location/maps.json',
dataType:'json',
cache: false,
data:'via=ajax&address='+source,
success:function(results) {
// this is where i get the latlng
}
});
} else {
alert('please, be patient!');
}
});
Here is an example:
$.ajax({
type: "post",
url: "ajax/example.php",
data: 'page=' + btn_page,
success: function (data) {
var a = data; // This line shows error.
$.ajax({
type: "post",
url: "example.php",
data: 'page=' + a,
success: function (data) {
}
});
}
});
Call second ajax from 'complete'
Here is the example
var dt='';
$.ajax({
type: "post",
url: "ajax/example.php",
data: 'page='+btn_page,
success: function(data){
dt=data;
/*Do something*/
},
complete:function(){
$.ajax({
var a=dt; // This line shows error.
type: "post",
url: "example.php",
data: 'page='+a,
success: function(data){
/*do some thing in second function*/
},
});
}
});
This is just an example. You may like to customize it as per your requirement.
$.ajax({
url: 'ajax/test1.html',
success: function(data1) {
alert('Request 1 was performed.');
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: url,
data: data1, //pass data1 to second request
success: successHandler, // handler if second request succeeds
dataType: dataType
});
}
});
