I know it’s not possible to call an jQuery Plugin within an .ajax() loaded

  • 0

I know it’s not possible to call an jQuery Plugin within an .ajax() loaded page, the only way is to write a function in the parent page and call this function in the function(data) part of the AJAX request. This works in general, but I’m stuck because my function needs a variable from the loaded content to work correctly and whatever I’m trying, I can’t get the variable from the loaded content into the parent function, see my example:

This is my function:

function doPaginate(maxpage) {
    jQuery("#demo5").paginate({
        count: maxpage
    });
}​

This is my jQuery.ajax() request:

function loadProfileTab(tab, ownerinfo) {
    jQuery.post("./profile_ajax.php", {
        task: 'profiletab',
        v: tab,
        user_id: ownerinfo
    }, function(data) {
        jQuery("#profile_content_wrapper").html(data);
        doPaginate(maxpage);
    });
}​

What I’m trying is now to get the variable maxpage from the PHP loaded content into the function doPaginate(maxpage) within the AJAX request.

I know some workarounds, in example start a request first to get the result of $maxpage, then start a request again to use this result in the new request, but it seems to be not the “nicest” solution.

Can someone lead me to a better solution please? Or is it just impossible what I’m trying in my code example above?

Best regards!

    You could add the value for the maxpage variable as a hidden field in the HTML returned by AJAX and use jQuery to find the value, something like this.

    var data = '<html><head></head><body><form><div>Ble</div><input id="maxpage" type="hidden" value="10"/></form></body></html>';
var maxpage = $(data).find('#maxpage').val();
console.log(maxpage);
alert(maxpage);

    Here’s the DEMO for this code.
