jquery getJSON function timing issue

Question

I think my program is skipping result of JSON call. Is it possible to make a closure function here or make the program wait for JSON call to return?

function         


        

Answer 1

Another choice is to use a call back function and pass it to the function that executes the getJSON as:

//this is the function that executes my getJSON
//callback is the name of my callback function
function getMyData( callback ){

  //here you do your getJSON call
  $.getJSON(url, function(items){

    //do your stuff here

    //call your function here (at the end)
    callback();

  });

}

This way your callback function will be called at the end of the getJSON call.
