Question

I have the following code:

$(document).ajaxComplete(function () {
    tips();
});

Which runs the tips function again when an ajax event completes! However the tips function ALSO contains ajax requests so it calls itself which isn’t what I want to do!

How could I run tips when ajax events complete EXCEPT if it’s the tips ajax request

Answer 1

EDIT

Don’t use my solution. Use the one from mmcnickle below.

In your tips(); function could you set a bool flag? Something like…

var isTips = false;

function tips(callBack){
   isTips = true;
   // rest of your code
   if(typeOf(callBack) == 'function'){
      callBack();
   }
}

$(document).ajaxComplete(function(){
   if(!isTips){
      tips(function(){
         isTips = false;
      });
   }
});
