Question

Using Jquery I need to trigger a ajaxComplete event.

At the moment I’m using this code with no success

$.getJSON(assetUrl, function (data) {
...
    $.trigger("ajaxComplete");

With Error:

TypeError: 'undefined' is not a function (evaluating '$.trigger("ajaxComplete")')

Any idea what I’m doing wrong? Thanks

The ajaxCompleted event is fired on the DOM, and you will need to call the trigger method on a jQuery wrapper element: $(document).trigger(...), for example.

There is not static function “trigger” on the jQuery object (that’s what the error message is telling you), you might use $.event.trigger – though I fear that’s internal.

However, you won’t need to do it manually; getJSON does trigger the event itself. For aborting a running ajax request, see the abort method of XHR objects.
