How do you make the script wait for the status of an Ajax get request before continuing?
- by codeninja
Basically what I'm doing is checking for the existence of an object, if it's not found, the script will try to load the source file using getScript. I only want to check this once though then return true or false to the function that calls fetch()
fetch:function(obj){
...
isReady = false;
$.getScript(obj.srcFile,function(){
isReady=true;
warn("was able to load object "+key);
});
return isReady;
}
but return kicks in before the script loads =/
later the script is loaded but the function returned false.
This is the beauty of asynchronous I suppose...
What's the best way to handle this... Maybe I could check again at some other point if the object exists?
Or maybe there's a better way to do this where I dont have to potentially lock the browser?
