JQuery Ajax call - ajax

I have a url like:
http://localhost:8080/myapp/discussions/voteup?id=1
which returns the following json:
{"vote":{"value":"100"}}
I am trying to make a JQuery Ajax Call to post a vote to the url.
$(function(){
$(".vote-up-post").click(function() {
var postId = $("#postId");
alert("Post Value" + postId.val());
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "/myapp/discussions/voteup",
data: {'id': postId.val()},
dataType: "json",
success: function(response){
$(".post-votes-count").text("100");
},
error: function(response){
alert("Error:" + response);
}
});
});
});
I get the the following pop up for the second alert message:
Error:[object XMLHttpRequest]
Any idea what I am missing?

Your error function should be:
error: function(req, response) {
alert("Error:" + response);
}
The first argument of the error function is the XMLHttpRequest object that was used to make the ajax request. The second argument will give you the status of the object: "timeout", "error", "notmodified" or "parsererror."

Weird object returned from AJAX request

I have this method:
var chineseCurrency = getChinese();
function getChinese(){
return $.ajax({
context: this,
type: 'GET',
dataType: 'json',
url: "https://www.cryptonator.com/api/ticker/usd-cny"
});
}
That is what printed when console.log(chineseCurrency);:
I am not able to make chineseCurrency equal to "price", so it would be "6.80071377". How can I do that? Tried chineseCurrency.responseText, nope, chineseCurrency['responseText'], nope. Tried to JSON.parse(chineseCurrency), nope. Nothing works!
Sorry if repeated, couldn't find any answer at Stackoverflow.
How do I return the response from an asynchronous call?
Data that is received as response to asynchronous ajax call cannot be returned from the function that calls $.ajax. What you are returning is XMLHttpRequest object (see http://api.jquery.com/jquery.ajax/) that is far from the desired data.
var chineseCurrency = null;
function getChinese(){
return $.ajax({
context: this,
type: 'GET',
dataType: 'json',
url: "https://www.cryptonator.com/api/ticker/usd-cny",
success: function(data) {
alert("success1: chineseCurrency=" + chineseCurrency);
chineseCurrency = data.ticker.price;
alert("success2: chineseCurrency=" + chineseCurrency);
// do what you need with chineseCurrency
}
});
}
You are not taking the data from that is returned from the Ajax call. instead you are just returning the ajax object.
Change your code to :
$.ajax(
{
context: this,
type: 'GET',
dataType: 'json',
url: "https://www.cryptonator.com/api/ticker/usd-cny"
data :{},
error : function(data)
{
console.log('error occured when trying to find the from city');
},
success : function(data)
{
console.log(data); //This is what you should return from the function.
}
});

Sneak out JSON data from failed JSONP AJAX call

When I make this AJAX call
var inputText = $('#job-search-field').val(); //for example "CSS"
$.ajax({
url: 'http://api.arbetsformedlingen.se/platsannons/matchning',
type: 'GET',
dataType: 'json',
crossDomain: true,
data: {nyckelord: inputText}, //searches arbetsformedlingen.se for jobs containing the keyword "CSS".
success: getAPIResponse,
})
.done(function() {
console.log("success");
})
.fail(function() {
console.log("error");
})
.always(function() {
console.log("complete");
});
}
I get this error in the console
"XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://api.arbetsformedlingen.se/platsannons/matchning?nyckelord=CSS. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin http://localhost is therefore not allowed access."
When I make this AJAX call (http://jsfiddle.net/MSCbP/)
var inputText = $('#job-search-field').val();
$.ajax({
url: 'http://api.arbetsformedlingen.se/platsannons/matchning',
type: 'GET',
dataType: 'jsonp', //jsonp, not json
crossDomain: true,
data: {nyckelord: inputText},
success: getAPIResponse,
})
.done(function() {
console.log("success");
})
.fail(function() {
console.log("error");
})
.always(function() {
console.log("complete");
});
}
I get this error in the console
"Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token : "
The first error tells me I don't have permission to retrieve the data, right? Since I find no information on how to gain access to the API I'm very interested in getting the response from the second call, which seems to work. Although I get the console error, I see the json data I want in the Network>Response tab in Chrome's dev-tool.
I can't seem to get the JSON data from "success: function()", is there any other way to get it?
Thanks!

Ajax Call with PUT method

i am trying to make ajax call with PUT method. Below is the code, but i am getting with the error XML Parsing Error: no element found Location: moz-nullprincipal:{c847a4af-f009-4907-a103-50874fcbbe35} Line Number 1, Column 1:
$.ajax({
type: "PUT",
async: true,
url: "http://localhost:8080/karthick/update",
data: JSON.stringify(params),
contentType: "application/json",
dataType: "JSON",
processdata: true,
success: function (json) { //On Successfull service call
},
error: function (xhr) {
alert(xhr.responseText);
}
});
return false;
};
function ServiceFailed(xhr) {
alert(xhr.responseText);
if (xhr.responseText) {
var err = xhr.responseText;
if (err)
error(err);
else
error({ Message: "Unknown server error." })
}
return;
}
But this service is working Good with Rest-client jar. Also my POST method works fine in my browser. Please help me in this.

Usually, this error comes, when making a cross browser request. Try data: JSONP and see if it helps.

How to use an ajax call's response to manipulate a dynamic page?

I am trying to submit a form with the user's inserted data and get the html back from the page called (update.asp).
How do I get the html response and how do I write it to a div on the page? The response would be "success".
If my page throws a 500 or other type of error, how can I handle that?
$('input#btnUpdate').click( function() {
$.ajax({
url: 'update.asp',
type: 'post',
dataType: 'json',
data: $('form#myForm').serialize(),
success: function(data) {
// how do i catch the response? is this the right place?
},
error: function(data) {
// how do I catch the error code here?
}
});
The response from the server in both cases would be passed to the callback as the data variable in your example. Try using console.log(data) inside of your callbacks to see the result in your developer console.
$('input#btnUpdate').click( function() {
$.ajax({
url: 'update.asp',
type: 'post',
dataType: 'json',
data: $('#myForm').serialize(),
success: function(response) {
$("#yourDIV").html(response);
},
error: function (xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError) {
alert(thrownError); //output, 500
}
});
});

asp.net mvc ajax driving me mad

how come when I send ajax request like this everything works
$(".btnDeleteSong").click(function () {
var songId = $(this).attr('name');
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: "/Home/DeleteSong/",
data: { id: songId },
success: ShowMsg("Song deleted successfully"),
error: ShowMsg("There was an error therefore song could not be deleted, please try again"),
dataType: "json"
});
});
But when I add the anonymous function to the success It always showes me the error message although the song is still deleted
$(".btnDeleteSong").click(function () {
var songId = $(this).attr('name');
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: "/Home/DeleteSong/",
data: { id: songId },
success: function () { ShowMsg("Song deleted successfully"); },
error: function () {
ShowMsg("There was an error therefore song could not be deleted, please try again");
},
dataType: "json"
});
});
what if i wanted few things on success of the ajax call, I need to be able to use the anonymous function and I know that's how it should be done, but what am I doing wrong?
I want the success message to show not the error one.
function ShowMsg(parameter) {
$("#msg").find("span").replaceWith(parameter);
$("#msg").css("display", "inline");
$("#msg").fadeOut(2000);
return false;
}
Make sure your action is returning Json data.
"json": Evaluates the response as JSON and returns a JavaScript object. In jQuery 1.4 the JSON data is parsed in a strict manner; any malformed JSON is rejected and a parse error is thrown. (See json.org for more information on proper JSON formatting.)
http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/
Your action method should surely return Json data. I have the similar code see if that helps.
public ActionResult GetAllByFilter(Student student)
{
return Json(new { data = this.RenderPartialViewToString("PartialStudentList", _studentViewModel.GetBySearchFilter(student).ToList()) });
}
$("#btnSearch").live('click',function () {
var student = {
Name: $("#txtSearchByName").val(),
CourseID: $("#txtSearchByCourseID").val()
};
$.ajax({
url: '/StudentRep/GetAllByFilter',
type: "POST",
data: JSON.stringify(student),
dataType: "json",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
success: function(result) {
$("#dialog-modal").dialog("close");
RefreshPartialView(result.data);
}
, error: function() { alert('some error occured!!'); }
});
});
Above code is used to reload a partial view. in your case it should be straight forward.
Thanks,
Praveen
