I have following code.I show user a fancybox and they click Submit on Form I close fancybox and show them processing on page and do an AJAX post using JQuery. But some how fancybox gets stays open until AJAX form post is completed.Which creates confusion for user .
function BeginProcess(){
$.fancybox.close();
$("#imgProcess").attr("src", "/admin/images/loading_animation.gif");
$('#imgProcess').show();
PostAJAXForm();
}
function PostForm(FormData){
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "process_image.jsp",
data: FormData,
contentType: "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
async: false,
success: function(response) {
response = $.trim(response);
$('#imgProcess').delay(10000).hide();
return response;
},
error: function(xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError) {
alert("There was an error. Please undo image and perform action again. " );
$('#lblProcess').delay(5000).hide();
return;
}
});
}
You need to add
$.fancybox.close()in Jquery’ Ajax’s beforeSend function.http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/
http://api.jquery.com/ajaxSend/
