Ajax function working in IE but not Firefox - javascript

I have an ajax function is called when a form is completed. It is suppose to redirect to a certain page if there is a success for a failure. When I run the form in IE, it works perfectly but in Firefox, the page does not redirect at all. It just refreshes the page. Here is the ajax code:
$.ajax({
url: "someURL",
type: "POST",
dataType: "xml",
data: params,
success: function () { window.location = 'success_page.htm' },
failure: function () { window.location = 'error_page.htm' }
});

Well, there's a minor mistake in your code: you are missing some semicolons:
$.ajax({
url: "someURL",
type: "POST",
dataType: "xml",
data: params,
success: function () { window.location = 'success_page.htm'; },
failure: function () { window.location = 'error_page.htm'; }
});
If this still doesn't resolve your problem, then I would guess there is something wrong with your params variable. Could you show us the whole code?

try
window.location = '/error_page.htm'
Sometimes working with IE I had the same problem, I use window.location.href instead of window.location

ajax progress loading does not work properly

I am now in javascript, I am trying to display a indictor icon when ajax starts and hide it when it finishes, below is my code:
CSS:
div.ajax-progress {
//some setting and url
}
<body>
<div class="ajax-progress"></div>
</body>
Javascript:
$('#fileToUpload').on('change', function(e) {
var file = e.target.files[0];
var formData = new FormData($('form')[0]);
imageId = cornerstoneWADOImageLoader.fileManager.add(file);
$.ajax({
url: 'loadfile.php',
type: 'POST',
data: formData,
async: false,
dataType: 'json',
timeout : 60000,
beforeSend :function(){
$(".ajax-progress").show();
},
success: function (html) {}
$(".ajax-progress").hide();
//doing something}
});
});
but nothing happens, any idea? appreciated.
Maybe if you put $(".ajax-progress").show(); before the call of ajax $.ajax({}); and them hide it in the succes.
I don't know if that's the same to what you have in your code but you commented out the success closing bracket }
you can also use console.log() or alert() to see what's going on in your code.
Try rewriting your ajax as below:
$.ajax({
url: 'loadfile.php',
type: 'POST',
data: formData,
async: false,
dataType: 'json',
timeout : 60000,
beforeSend :function(){
//do something
},
success: function (html) {
//doing something
}
});
$(document).ajaxStart(function() {
$(".ajax-progress").show();
});
$(document).ajaxStop(function() {
$(".ajax-progress").hide();
});
This will show and hide $(".ajax-progress") in all your ajax requests within the application.

Ajax redirect on error

I'm calling php file through ajax call and if it returns nothing i want to redirect user to another page (It's for error reports, if it doesn't return anything it means that user logged in). Tried to add error section but it doesn't work. Any suggestions will help. Thanks! Btw, I have small jQuery function at the top of the ajax function, why it breaks my whole ajax call?
ajax.js
function loginAjax() {
//$("#email_errors").empty(); //This function doesnt work and kills whole ajax call. Here is loginAjax function call line - <button type = "submit" id = "push_button" onclick = "loginAjax(); return false">PushMe</button>
$.ajax({
url: "Classes/call_methods_login.php",
type: "POST",
dataType: "json",
data: {
login_email: $("#login_email").val(),
login_password: $("#login_password").val(),
},
success: function(data) {
$("#login_error").html(data.login_message);
}
});
}
$.ajax({
url: "Classes/call_methods_login.php",
type: "POST",
dataType: "json",
data: {
login_email: $("#login_email").val(),
login_password: $("#login_password").val(),
},
success: function(data) {
$("#login_error").html(data.login_message);
},
error: function(){
window.location.replace("http://stackoverflow.com");
}
});
}
To redirect using javascript all you need to do is override the location.href attribute.
function loginAjax() {
$.ajax({
url: "Classes/call_methods_login.php",
type: "POST",
dataType: "json",
data: {
login_email: $("#login_email").val(),
login_password: $("#login_password").val(),
},
// the success method is deprecated in favor of done.
done: function(data) {
$("#login_error").html(data.login_message);
},
fail: function(data) {
location.href="path/to/error/page";
}
});
}

Javascript/Jquery stops working after Ajax call

I have an ajax call that works great the first time the form is submitted after that all javascript on the page seems to break. As well as the form won't submit with ajax again.
Here is my ajax call:
$('form').submit(function(event) {
$('input:submit').attr("disabled", true).after('<p class="loading">Searching...</p>');
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: pathname,
data: $(this).serialize(),
success: function(data) {
$('#container').html("<div id='message'></div>");
$('#message').append(data).hide().fadeIn(1500);
},
});
event.preventDefault();
});
I'm getting no errors in my console. Any ideas what might be causing this?
I solved the issue, the main page content was changing. Which was causing the javascript to unload. So I need to use Jquery .on/.live and then it works. For what ever reason this worked fine on one server and not on another.
Use as below: No Need to define event.preventDefault();
$('form').submit(function(event) {
$('input:submit').attr("disabled", true).after('<p class="loading">Searching...</p>');
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: pathname,
data: $(this).serialize(),
success: function(data) {
$('#container').html("<div id='message'></div>");
$('#message').append(data).hide().fadeIn(1500);
$('input:submit').removeAttr("disabled");
},
});
return false;
});
Remove disabled after submitting the form. And remove the , mentioned by #JustinRusso.
$('form').submit(function(event) {
$('input:submit').attr("disabled", true).after('<p class="loading">Searching...</p>');
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: pathname,
data: $(this).serialize(),
success: function(data) {
$('#container').html("<div id='message'></div>");
$('#message').append(data).hide().fadeIn(1500);
$('input:submit').removeAttr("disabled");
}
});
event.preventDefault();
});

IE 9, 10, 11 - Ajax calls not returning

I am having an issue with IE related to jQuery and ajax. Chrome and Firefox work just fine, but my ajax calls are disappearing in IE.
After making the ajax call, neither the success nor the fail functions are being called. I can see the response in the IE console, and I know my controller action is being hit.
$.ajax({
url: controllerUrl
type: 'POST',
dataType: 'json',
cache: false,
data: {
id: customerId
},
success: function () {
alert('success!');
},
error: function () {
alert('failed!');
}
});
Has anyone else seen this issue?
fail: function () {
alert('failed!');
}
fail is not a valid jQuery ajax setting. I believe you are looking for error.
Also, cache: false, does nothing with POST requests.
Note, jQuery does not append the time stamp with POST requests.
The source code clearly demonstrates this. (summarized from https://github.com/jquery/jquery/blob/master/src/ajax.js)
var rnoContent = /^(?:GET|HEAD)$/;
s.hasContent = !rnoContent.test( s.type );
if ( !s.hasContent ) {
/* code to append time stamp */
}
You are missing a comma , after your URL parameter:
$.ajax({
url: controllerUrl, // <--- you were missing this comma!
type: 'POST',
dataType: 'json',
cache: false,
data: {
id: customerId
},
success: function () {
alert('success!');
},
error: function () {
alert('failed!');
}
});

jQuery parse xml from restful web service?

I have a code for pulling data from careerbuilders api. The link works well when tested on the browser, but I can't seem to parse anything from it. Care to tell me what is wrong?
html code:
<div class="main">
Companies:
</div>
jQuery code:
$(document).ready(function () {
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "http://api.careerbuilder.com/v1/jobsearch?DeveloperKey=WDHL4Z86PBQY29Z7ZQQS&Location=Canada",
dataType: "xml",
success: xmlParser(xml)
});
});
function xmlParser(xml) {
$(xml).find("JobSearchResult").each(function () {
$(".main").append(
$(this).find("Company").text()
);
});
}
Here is a jsfiddle live example: http://jsfiddle.net/Cc4SY/
In your case xml won't be defined. You have to wrap the success callback in another function which in turn will call your xmlParser function.
What you are doing is calling the xmlParser function and assigning the return value as the success callback, which is not intended. So you have wrap it in another function and call xmlParser from that function and in that case the xml response will be properly passed to the xmlParser and you will able to parse it.
The code might look like this:
$(document).ready(function () {
$.ajax({
method: "GET",
url: "http://api.careerbuilder.com/v1/jobsearch?DeveloperKey=WDHL4Z86PBQY29Z7ZQQS&Location=Canada",
dataType: 'xml',
success: function (response) {
xmlParser(response);
}
});
});
function xmlParser(response){
var xml = $.parseXML(response);
$(xml).find("JobSearchResult").each(function () {
$(".main").append(
$(this).find("Company").text()
);
});
}
I think now it's working:
$(document).ready(function () {
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "http://api.careerbuilder.com/v1/jobsearch?DeveloperKey=WDHL4Z86PBQY29Z7ZQQS&Location=Canada",
dataType: "xml",
success: function(xml)
{
xmlParser(xml);
}
});
});
Fiddle here: http://jsfiddle.net/Cc4SY/2/
Console response: XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://api.careerbuilder.com/v1/jobsearch?DeveloperKey=WDHL4Z86PBQY29Z7ZQQS&Location=Canada. Origin http://fiddle.jshell.net is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin.
It's a jsfiddle restriction.
