[jQuery] Get time of ajax post?
Hey all,
This is more of a JS queston in general than a jQuery question: how do I get
the time it took for an ajax post to complete?
I am trying to show a progress bar for an ajax post which may take anywhere
from 1 to 20 seconds. It's a multi-row database table update. To do this
I'm using the "guesstimate" pattern described here:
http://ajaxpatterns.org/Progress_Indicator
To improve the accuracy, I'd like to do a "dummy" ajax post to the server,
get the amount of time it took, and use that to calculate the total
estimated time for the database update, then do the actual multi-row update
while the progress bar is running.
I've seen timers for events in JS, such as the speed test demos, but I can't
figure out how to retrieve that information from a completed ajax request.
Is what I'm trying to do possible?
