Two $.post requests one after the other.Second $.post request doesn't get executed

Question

I have a javascript function inside which i have two $.post requests.Both the $.post requests should get executed.But sometimes,second $.post request doesn\'t get executed.W

Answer 1

$.post() is an abbreviated form of the $.ajax() structure. I usually prefer to use the $.ajax() structure because:

• It's easier to see if I've missed anything
• I can more easily add additional params, such as asynch: false,
• When new to ajax I found it considerably easier to troubleshoot this structure

In your case, you might find your problem easier to solve in a $.ajax() structure, since it would be easier to see that a second ajax call (that depends on the outcome of a first ajax call) must happen in the success function of the first ajax call.

Here is a standalone example (too bad jsFiddle cannot handle ajax...):
