I have this function that makes an ajax call. I'm describing the problem in the last chunk of code comments.
function doop(){
var that = this;
var theold = "theold";
var thenew = "thenew";
$.ajax({
url: 'doop.php',
type: 'POST',
data: 'before=' + theold + '&after=' + thenew,
success: function(resp) {
if(resp == 1) {
$(that).siblings('.theold').html(thenew);
}
}
});
// I have some code here (out of the ajax) that **further** changes
// the .theold's html beyond what it was changed inside ajax success
// but the change depends on whether the resp (inside the success
// function) returned 1 or not, so this code out here depends on the ajax
// so it looks like I have to turn this ajax call into a sync ajax
return false;
}
Based on the problem as described in the code comments, what changes are best for this situation?
