I have a external js file handling deleteing some element. According to the result, I would determine whether I need to refresh the page or not.
var deleted = 0; // first assume not deleted
$(function() {
$("#action a.action-delete").click(function() {
var id = $(this).parent().parent().attr("id");
$.get("modify-sale.php", { "id" : id, "action" : "delete" }, function (data) { deleted = 1; }, "text");
if (deleted) return true; // if success then refresh
else return false; // else does not refresh
});
No the problem is I could not change the global variable deleted
in the jQuery event handler. I can assure that the delete action is success, but this variable just does not change its value to 1.
Why?
