Prototype,ajax and request.responseText

JavaScript
1

I make an ajax request with prototype with a popup and if the return request.responseText is ‘success’ I want to close this popup so I write this code that does not work.what is wrong?

function undoRequestCompleted(request)
{ if (eval(trim(request.responseText)).toString()=="success");
   {alert(request.responseText)
  parent.window.location.reload();}
 // alert(request.responseText)
   
}

Why not setup you page to send the right status codes and just use Prototype’s success and failure handlers?


new Ajax.Request('/your/url', {
  onSuccess: function(xhr) {
    // doSomething
  },
  onFailure: function(xhr) {
    // doSomething
  }
});

Much nicer :slight_smile:
