I've seen a bunch of these threads and went through a few of them but nothing seemed to be of help so far. So I'm trying to call the timer continuously while the ajax call is taking place. Once the ajax call reaches the complete event, I'd like to clearInterval the timer, but that doesn't seem to be working because the call to CheckProgress() keeps going and going.
Here's my code:
var timer = "";
$("#ChartUpdateData").click(function () {
$("#loadingimgfeatdiv").show(); //ajax loading gif
if (timer == "")
{
console.log("Starting Progress Checks...");
timer = window.setInterval("CheckProgress()", 5000);
}
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
async: true,
url: '@(Url.Action("UpdateServerData","Charts"))',
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
success: function (data) {
},
error: function (XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) {
},
complete:function (jqXHR, textStatus) {
$("#loadingimgfeatdiv").hide();
StopCheckingProgress();
LoadChart();
},
});
});
function StopCheckingProgress()
{
window.clearInterval(timer);
timer = "";
console.log("Ending Progress Checks...");
}
function CheckProgress()
{
console.log("Checking Progress...");
console.log(timer);
}
EDIT:
