Javascript数组：AJAX，JSON

Question

I'm a newbee to JS , JSON and AJAX. I'm using it to develop a simple apps in my SAP env. I'm bit struck in converting the AJAX response to java array. What is have in the code is:

function addTable()
{
    var urls = new Array();
    $(document).ready(function ()
    {
        var params = getURLParam().split('?');
        $.post("GetBayDetails.htm", {url: getURLParam(), params: params[1]})
                .done(function (data)
                {
                    var url = $.parseJSON(data);
                    urls.push(JSON.parse(url));
                    $.each(url, function (i, v)
                    {
                        push.urls[i] = v.bay;
                    });
                });
    });
    alert(urls[2]);
}

but if I loop through "URLS" I do not see any value appended to the array. Please can anyone provide some help to get this fixed?

Answer 1

Try this. My changes are:

1. Use the "json" dataType argument to $.post so it parses the response automatically.

2. There's no need to use $(document).ready() inside a function that you call on demand. This is only needed when performing initial actions that have to wait for the DOM to be loaded.

3. It's not necessary to call JSON.parse(url), as this is already parsed.

4. The correct way to add to the urls array is urls.push(v.bay).

5. The preferred way to initialize an array is with [], not new Array().

6. alert(urls[2]) needs to be in the .done() function. Otherwise you're alerting before the AJAX call has completed.

function addTable() {
    var urls = [];
    var params = getURLParam().split('?');
    $.post("GetBayDetails.htm", {url: getURLParam(), params: params[1]}, "json")
        .done(function (url) {
        $.each(url, function (i, v) {
            urls.push(v.bay);
        });
        alert(urls[2]);
    });

}
