jquery return get code example
Example 1: jquery get request
jQuery get() Method
The jQuery get() method sends asynchronous http GET request to the server and retrieves the data.
Syntax:
$.get(url, [data],[callback]);
Parameters Description:
url: request url from which you want to retrieve the data
data: data to be sent to the server with the request as a query string
callback: function to be executed when request succeeds
The following example shows how to retrieve data from a text file.
Example: jQuery get() Method
$.get('/data.txt',
function (data, textStatus, jqXHR) {
alert('status: ' + textStatus + ', data:' + data);
});
In the above example, first parameter is a url from which we want to retrieve the data. Here, we want to retrieve data from a txt file located at mydomain.com/data.txt. Please note that you don't need to give base address.
Example 2: $.get jquery return value
function showGetResult( name )
{
var result = null;
var scriptUrl = "somefile.php?name=" + name;
$.ajax({
url: scriptUrl,
type: 'get',
dataType: 'html',
async: false,
success: function(data) {
result = data;
}
});
return result;
}
