Question

I have a post function written in coffeescript below. The intention of the code is to post data to update events then render the view through the fetchEvents function. However, it tends to refresh the view first before it performs the update. I am looking at response time of the post for the issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

  $.get '/artists/' + user_id + '/fetch_events', { event_type: action }, ((event_data) ->
    if $.isEmptyObject(event_data)  
      $.ajax
        url: "/events/" + event_id      
        type: "post"
        success: fetchEvents(event_date)
        data: "_method": "put", "event" :
          "date": event_date              
          "time": event_time              
        dataType: "json"

Answer 1

Just top of the head, could it be,

success: -> fetchEvents(event_date)

instead of

success: fetchEvents(event_date)

hope this helps.
