Question

With jQuery you can make an ajax request like this:

request=$.ajax({
  url: "test.html",
});

request.success(function(){
    alert('Yay!');
});

However, let’s say I didn’t want immediately make the ajax request. I just wanted to define it and bind it to an event. Is there a way to do that?

Would this suit your need?

function callMeLater() {
    $.ajax({
        url: "test.html",
    });
}

//and later

$(selector).anyevent(function() {
    callMeLater();
});
