Question

how do I do two xhr.gets one after the other using dojo ?

I have ….

require(["dojo/_base/xhr", "dojo/dom", "dojo/domReady!"],
function(xhr, dom) {

    // Using xhr.get, as very little information is being sent
    xhr.get({
        // The URL of the request
        url: "inc/etl2json.php?item=Execs",
        // The success callback with result from server
        load: function(execContent) {
            dom.byId("Execs").innerHTML = execContent;
        },
        // The error handler
        error: function() {
            // Do nothing -- keep old content there
        }
    });

});

I would like to do another xhr.get to “inc/etl2json.php?item=Execs” and assign it to dom.byId(“Elapsed”).innerHTML = elapsedContent;

just call again xhr.get() inside the load function, well that if the content is supposed to change, else you could just use the same data retrieved the first time:

xhr.get({
    load:function(data){
        //use the first data you retrieved
        xhr.get({
            load: function(data2){
             //do what you like with the nuew data
            }
        });
    }
});
