[jQuery] Ajax chaining

[jQuery] Ajax chaining


Hi all,
I have a page that I want to use to display updates coming from the
server.
In my innocence, I assumed that the following code:
function get_status(response){
    $("#selector").text(response);
    $.ajax({
        type: "GET",
        url: <server url>,
        success: get_status(response)
    });
}
and server side something that sends a response, would give me
successive ajax calls, made visible in the page via #selector.
However, this does not happen. response comes back as an empty string,
even though I can test the url and it gives me data (time() in this
case, just for testing).
What am I doing wrong here? Is AJAX reciursion evil?
Cheers,
-Erik
