How to make the JS wait !!
I'm developing AJAX application.
From JS, I call the server side program and expecting a result.
I want the JS to wait till the result is returned from server.
When I use alert(). It works very good and the JS and HTML are waiting. but i dont want to use alert()
Is there any other way to make the JS wait??

You can submit the request to the server side and exit the routine that did that or initiate the watchdog timer.
In the server response after the data, you can insert the JavaScript code that calls the data processing routine in main application.
Say in your main application you have functions submitData(..) and processData(..).
submitData(..) sends the request to the server side via iFrame. In the response you return:
| Code: |
<html>
... skipped ...
<script language="JavaScript">
var NEWDATA = ... skipped ...;
parent.processData(NEWDATA);
</script>
... skipped ...
</html>
|
this guarantees that the data is ready by the time you call the processing function.
Notes:
1. this will not work cross domains. parent document and the requested document must be in the same domain
2. this isn't technically AJAX because it doesn't use XML

Actually It use XML , So it is AJAX for sure :)
You understood that I want to submit date to server and wait for response ! >> It's not the case
Now I fixed that problem by changing :
httpRequest.open('POST', url, true); with httpRequest.open('GET', url, true);
GET instead of POST
Now it sends the request and wait for the response ;)
Thank u very much :)
