I want to make it so that users can't click until Ajax is working. But when I test it the javascript fails

in Using jQuery • 11 years ago

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('.error,.success').hide();
    var ajaxComplete=1;
    $("#send").click(function (){
        $('.error,.success').hide("slow");
        if (ajaxComplete==1){
        $.ajax({
                ajaxComplete=0;
                url: 'add.php?lnk='+escape($('[name=lnk]').val())+'&name='+escape($('[name=name]').val())+'&img='+escape($('[name=img]').val()),
                success: function(newContent){
                    $(".success").html("New Book mark created");
                    $(".sampleList").append(newContent);
                    $('.success').show("slow");
                    $('[name=name],[name=lnk],[name=img]').html('');
                    ajaxComplete=1;
                }
            });
        }
    });
});

When I took away ajaxComplete (and made the if condition automaically true) then the the javascript didn't have errors.
Why can't I use variables in jQuery like this?

You can't put executable code into the parameters for the ajax call. Just move it outside instead:

$(function() { // Shorthand for $(document).ready(function() {
$('.error,.success').hide();
var ajaxComplete = true;
$('#send').click(function() {
$('.error,.success').hide('slow');
if (ajaxComplete) {
ajaxComplete = false;
$.ajax({url: 'add.php?lnk=' + escape($('[name=lnk]').val()) + '&name=' +
escape($('[name=name]').val()) + '&img=' + escape($('[name=img]').val()),
success: function(newContent) {
$('.sampleList').append(newContent);
$('.success').html('New Book mark created').show('slow');
$('[name=name],[name=lnk],[name=img]').html('');
ajaxComplete = true;
}
});
}
});
});

Does that mean I can't have the last statement in there that says "ajaxComplete = true;" ?
How am I suppose to let the script know if the call is complete or not if I can't change that variable in the completion function?
