jQuery AJAX custom function and custom callback?

Question

Heylow everyone!

I have an ajax() call like so:

$.ajax({
  type: \"post\",
  url: \"whatever.php\",
  data: {
    theData: \"moo moo\"

On this note, you can pass a complete function as a callback to this:

function customRequest(u,d,callback) {
   $.ajax({
     type: "post",
     url: u,
     data:d,
     success: function(data) {
        console.log(data); // predefined logic if any

        if(typeof callback == 'function') {
           callback(data);
        }
     }
  });
}



// Then call it as follows:

function initiator() {

    customRequest( '/url/to/post', 'param1=val', function() { alert( 'complete' ); })

}

Simply passing it as an anonymous function will work too.. Just for the sake of showing :)
