Description
Inside ajax callback function (success, error), 'this' context does not retain 'data' property consistently/correctly.
USING A GET:
jQuery.ajax({
url: 'http://localhost/example',
data: {
myValue1: 'foo',
myValue1: 'bar'
},
success: function(data, textStatus)
{
this.data == null BUG IS HERE
this.success == function() as expected
}
)
USING A POST:
jQuery.ajax({
url: 'http://localhost/example',
type: 'POST'
data: {
myValue1: 'foo',
myValue1: 'bar'
},
success: function(data, textStatus)
{
this.data == 'myValue1=foo&myValue2=bar';
this.success == function() // as expected
}
)
My perspective is that if 'data' as passed in options to jQuery.ajax is N/V pairs, as is the case with this example, the 'data' property on the call back context should be that very same object, regardless as to GET or POST, also not URL encoded etc.
Would be very convenient and helpful if it worked as such.
Also, doc thusly reads incorrectly:
http://docs.jquery.com/Ajax/jQuery.ajax.......
function (data, textStatus) {
data could be xmlDoc, jsonObj, html, text, etc...
this; the options for this ajax request
}
