This is driving me nuts!
I'm getting some JSON from my server:
{"id262":{"done":null,"status":null,"verfall":null,"id":262,"bid":20044,"art":"owner","uid":"demo02","aktion":null,"termin_datum":null,"docid":null,"gruppenid":null,"news":"newsstring","datum":"11.06.2010","header":"headerstring","for_uid":"demo01"},
"id263":{"done":null,"status":"pending","verfall":null,"bid":20044,"id":263,"uid":"demo02","art":"foo","aktion":"dosomething","termin_datum":"11.06.2010","docid":null,"gruppenid":null,"datum":"11.06.2010","news":"newsstring","for_uid":"demo01","header":"headerstring"},
"id261":{"done":null,"status":null,"verfall":null,"id":261,"bid":20044,"art":"termin","uid":"demo02","aktion":null,"termin_datum":"25.06.2010","docid":null,"gruppenid":null,"news":"newsstring","datum":"11.06.2010","header":"headerstring","for_uid":null}}
This is how my JS looks like:
var user = 'demo02';
new Ajax.Request('myscript.pl?someparameter=value', { method:'get',
onSuccess: function(transport){
var db_json = transport.responseText.evalJSON(),
propCount = 0,
someArray1 = [],
someArray2 = [],
otherArray = [];
//JSON DEBUG
console.log('validated string:');
console.log(transport.responseText.evalJSON(true));
for(var prop in db_json) {
propCount++;
if ( (db_json[prop].art == 'foo') && (db_json[prop].for_uid == user) ) {
someArray1.push(db_json[prop]);
} else if( (db_json[prop].art == 'foo') && (db_json[prop].uid == user) ) {
someArray2.push(db_json[prop]);
} else if( db_json[prop].art == 'log' ) {
otherArray.push(db_json[prop]);
}
}
if(someArray1.length>0) {
someArray1.map(function(el){
$('someArray1target').innerHTML += el.done;
//do more stuff
});
}
if(someArray2.length>0) {
someArray2.map(function(el){
$('someArray2target').innerHTML += el.done;
//do more stuff
});
}
});
Sometimes, it works perfectly.
Sometimes, i get my JSON String (it appears in Firebug's "answer"-tab), but it won't log the JSON in console-log(). I'm not getting any errors and javascript is still working.
Next time after reloading, it might work, but it might not.
I cannot remotely imagine why this only happens sometimes!
