Question

Hi I’m quite new to ASP and jQuery and could do with some help. I want to use an Ajax request to record the number of times a post request is sent, but haven’t got a clue where to start. I thought it might be something to do with an jQuery.ajaxSetup but am unsure.

If anyone could help or a least point me in the right direction that would be great.

You could use the beforeSend callback:

var count = 0;

$.ajaxSetup({
    beforeSend: function(jqXHR, settings) {
        if (settings.type == 'POST') {
            count++;
        }

        // Allow only 3 POST AJAX requests for this page 
        // and if there are more abort them
        if (count > 3) {
            return false;
        }
    }
});
