Question

I have the following jQuery 1.7.2 code:

var theParams = encodeURIComponent(s1)+encodeURIComponent(s2);
$.post('/myURL',theParams,processData).error(errorResponse);
function processData(data,textStatus){
    blah blah;
}// end processData
function errorResponse() {
    blah blah;
}

This code works fine on Safari 6 (Mac), Chrome 21 (Mac), Safari (iPad), Chrome (iPad),
but FF 14 (Mac) gives me the following error:

ReferenceError: processData is not defined

Oddly, similar code (from a different page) works just fine on FF:

var formData = $(form).serialize();
$.post('/myURL',formData,processData).error(errorResponse);
function processData(data,textStatus) {
    blah blah;
}// end processData
function errorResponse() {
    blah blah;
}

I’ve tried renaming the function, but that results in the same undefined error. What should I look for to debug this?

Answer 1

Try rearranging your code

var processData, errorResponse, theParams;
processData = function (data,textStatus){
    //blah blah;
};
errorResponse = function () {
    //blah blah;
};
theParams = encodeURIComponent(s1)+encodeURIComponent(s2);
$.post('/myURL',theParams,processData).error(errorResponse);

Does this work for you ?

can you provide the encodeURIComponent function also please ?
