[jQuery] getScript does not always work for me
I am building a web app that is controlled from a server. I want the
server to send objects to the app, which the app then processes. I am
using getScript for this, but it doesn't seem to be working for me.
I have example code at //jsbin.com/umuwi
This code calls getScript on the url ://jsbin.com/utake - this returns
the following text:
_jq_action={type:"href"};
I call getScript as follows:
var _jq_action;
$(document).ready(function(){
_jq_getaction();
});
function _jq_getaction() {
try {
_jq_action = null;
$.getScript("http://jsbin.com/utake", _jq_processaction);
_jq_log("sent request");
} catch(e) {
alert(e);
}
}
function _jq_processaction() {
try {
_jq_log("got reply");
if(_jq_action) {
_jq_log(_jq_action.type + " received");
} else {
_jq_log("no action");
}
} catch(e) {
alert(e);
}
}
_jq_log is a function which merely outputs messages to the screen, so
I can see what is going on.
The request gets sent, but _jq_action is always null.
