Question

Let’s suppose we have a function for getting some data from database:

function getResults() {
    if (httpReq.readyState == 4 || httpReq.readyState == 0) {
        httpReq.open("GET",'../search.php?blablabla',true);
        httpReq.onreadystatechange = function() {
            if (httpReq.readyState == 4) {
                // Some code here
            }
        };
        httpReq.send(null);
    }
    updateResults();
    // This function is running before the code above
    // ...so I actually get no results
}

How to run the updateResults() function at the moment when results are already taken from database?

Answer 1

I think the code should be like this:

function getResults() {
    httpReq.open("GET",'../search.php?blablabla',true);
    httpReq.onreadystatechange = function() {
        if (httpReq.readyState == 4) {
            // Some code here
            updateResults();
        }
    };
    httpReq.send(null);
}
