mootools ajax help

[Stickybomb]

hi i am working on a mootools script for an ajax call to validate some forms. I need to be able to check what is returned and update accordingly.

 

like if it returns false display i would execute an error effect, if not i will display a check mark

 

so i guess i just need to know how to check the results of the response

 

this is what i have so far

$('pass').addEvent('blur', function(e) {
                    new Event(e).stop();
                    new Ajax('includes/process/register.php?field=pass&data='+$('pass').value, {
					method: 'get',
					//what next
					}).request();
                });

 

any help pls

inside of you ajax call, add an onComplete function

 

so you have

 

method: 'get',

onComplete: function(result){

//your actions here. result is what is returned from your ajax call

}

 

see the events for each class. you can also create custom events, but you dont need to get into that now

on and btw, it looks like you're doing a call for every field onblur, id suggest agaist that as it sends unnecessary multiple requests to your server.

 

Why not send all of the form vars onSubmit of the form?

 

Example

var val_form = $('form_id');

val_form.addEvent('submit', function(e){

e = new Event(e).stop();

var form_vars = val_form.toQueryString();

new Ajax('location?' + form_vals,{

//events and settings here

});

});

onblur is needed for what im trying to do. as for the onComplete is result a variable that is returned or am i supposed to know what to put there cause that is what i am looking for. the documentation is confusing on this. it lists a way to get headers but that is not what i am affter is it?

[emehrkay]

result is what is returned.

 

Have you checked out the mootoorial?

It kinda looks like your trying to make something similar to google suggest. Is this true. If so there are a couple of mootools scripts to be found that will do exactly what you want.
