Question

I have the following:

$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    traditional: true,
    url: "/Administration/Locations/DoAction",
    data: { partitionKey: id.substring(14),
            rowKey: id.substring(4, 14),
            action: ac,
            datastore: $("#DataSource").val()
    },
    async: false,
    dataType: "json",
    timeout: 1000,
    success: function (data) {
      xx
    },
    error: function (x, t, m) {
      xx
    }

Can I can simplify this using jQuery to make the post? Note that id and ac are javascript variables assigned earlier.

Answer 1

$.ajaxSetup({async:false});
$.post("/Administration/Locations/DoAction",
    { partitionKey: id.substring(14),
            rowKey: id.substring(4, 14),
            action: ac,
            datastore: $("#DataSource").val()
    },
    function (data) {
      xx
    },
    "json"
).error(function() {
  xx
});

Documentation http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.post/

$.post() is same as

$.ajax({
  type: 'POST',
  url: url,
  data: data,
  success: success,
  dataType: dataType
});
