Make sure first ajax function finishes before second one

Question

I have a JavaScript function that makes two consecutive Ajax requests using jQuery. I want to make sure that the first request has loaded before the second function is call

Answer 1

For best results you should probably invoke the second function in the callback of the first.

For Example:

$.post("http://www.somewebsite.com/page.php", function(data) {
  // whatever
  function2();
});
