Question

Why can’t I pass a named function to the jquery ajax complete option. Here’s my code:

    $.ajax({
        type: 'post',
        url: baseURL + '/' + controller + '/' + action,
        data: params,
        success: function(data){
          //do something
        },
        complete: function(jqXHR, textStatus){
            checkResponseCode(jqXHR, textStatus);
        }

    });            

I wanted to just write out: “complete: checkResponseCode(jqXHR, textStatus);”

You can pass a function name, but this code is you invoking a function:

complete: checkResponseCode(jqXHR, textStatus);
