I am facing a challenge where I need to execute two separate ajax calls sequentially. The second call relies on the result of the first call for its data. Despite my efforts, I haven't been able to achieve the desired outcome. Here's what I have attempted:
$.ajax({
url:myurl, // 'myurl' is defined elsewhere
type:'POST',
data: mydata, // 'mydata' is defined elsewhere
success: function(data, textStatus) {
if (textStatus=='success'){
// Extract paramValue from the data
// Attempting to make another similar ajax call here
callNextAjax(paramValue); // This function initiates a similar ajax call but consistently receives an error callback
}
},
error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
alert("First Request Failed");
}
});
function callNextAjax(paramValue){
$.ajax({
url:myurl1, // 'myurl1' is defined elsewhere
type:'POST',
data: mydata1, // 'mydata1' is defined elsewhere and utilizes paramValue
success: function(data, textStatus) {
if (textStatus=='success'){
goToNewHtmlPage(); // Function to navigate to a new html page
}
},
error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
alert("Second Request Failed");
}
});
}
The callNextAjax() function encounters issues when trying to utilize the value of paramValue. When executed outside the success function of the initial ajax call, it works as intended and proceeds to the next page through the goToNewHtmlPage() function.
I am puzzled by the inconsistencies in my implementation and have exhausted all my attempts at troubleshooting. Any insights or guidance would be greatly appreciated at this point.
