Question

How can I access the value of $(this) after success: function() when using jquery? No matter what I\'ve tried, it appears I cant do it.

$(\'.add\').click(functio         


        

Answer 1

"this" inside your ajax success is not the same "this" outside.

Different scopes...

There is a nice solution for this question.

$('.add').click(function() {
var that = $(this);
//do whatever you want :]

 $.ajax({
        type:"GET",
        url:"/",
        data:data,
        dataType: 'json',
        beforeSend:function(html){
            //Nothing here right now
        },
        success: function(){
            that.parent("div").after("
I'm the new one.
");
        },

  });
});
