Synchronous JQuery.post()
You need to force your ajax call to be synchronous my friend ;)
http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/
ex:
asyncBooleanDefault: true
By default, all requests are sent asynchronously (i.e. this is set to true by default). If you need synchronous requests, set this option to false. Cross-domain requests and dataType: "jsonp" requests do not support synchronous operation. Note that synchronous requests may temporarily lock the browser, disabling any actions while the request is active.
I actually found that adding this snippet worked so I didn't have to change my .post() to .ajax()
$.ajaxSetup({ async: false });
I'm not sure if it will also change the settings of my other ajax calls though
If you use async: false you should be able to put each of your ajax calls into a queue until they get to be executed in a synchronous method. Like so:
for( var i=0;i < x;i++ ){ $.ajax({url: 'myurl', async: false, success: function(data){ //do something with the returned 'data' }; }); }
