I’m trying to create a simple AJAX request which returns some data from a MySQL database. Here’s my function below:
function AJAXrequest(url, postedData, callback) {
$.ajax() ({
type: ‘POST’,
url: url,
data: postedData,
dataType: ‘json’,
success: callback
});
}
…and here’s where I call it, parsing in the required parameters:
AJAXrequest(‘voting.ajax.php’, imageData, function(data) {
console.log(“success!”);
});
Yet, my success callback does not run (as “success!” is not logged to the console), and I get an error in my console:
TypeError: $.ajax(…) is not a function.
success: callback
What does this mean? I’ve done AJAX requests before where the success event triggers an anonymous function inside of $.ajax, but now I’m trying to run a separate named function (in this case, a callback). How do I go about this?
