A Complete Guide to JQuery AJAX Event Methods



Hello dear readers! Welcome back to another edition of our tutorial on jQuery. In our last tutorial post, we discussed about the various Ajax methods in jQuery and how they can be implemented.

So moving forward, in this tutorial we are going to be studying about the Ajax Event methods in jQuery.

ajaxComplete( callback ) Method

ajaxComplete( callback ) method attaches a function to be executed whenever an AJAX request is been completes.

Syntax

The following below is the syntax to use this method -

 $(document).ajaxComplete( callback );

Parameter Details

Below is the description of all the parameters -

  • callback - It is the function to be executed. The XML Http request and settings that are used for that request are all passed as arguments to the function.

Example

Below is a short example on how to implement this method -

<html>
     <head>
          <title>jQuery Example</title>
          <script  type = "text/javascript"   
               src = "https//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.5.0/jquery.min.js">               
          </script>  

          <script  type = "text/javascript">
               $( document ).ready( function( )  {
                    $( "#driver" ).click( function( event )  {
                         $( '#stage1' ).load( 'result.html' );
                    } );

                    $( document ).ajaxComplete( function( event,  request,  settings ) {
                         $( "#stage2" ).html( "<h1>Request Complete</h1>" );
                    } );
               } );
          </script>

     </head>

     <body>
          <span>Click on the button below to load /jquery/result.html file:</span>

          <div  id = "stage1"  style = "background-color: green;">
               STAGE - 1
          </div>

          <div  id = "stage2"  style = "background-color: green;">
               STAGE - 2
          </div>
          
          <input  type = "button"  id = "driver"  value = "Load Data" />
     </body>
</html>

Assume we have the below HTML content in /jquery/result.html file -

<h1>THIS IS RESULT.......</h1>

You can try the above code out to see the result for yourselves.

                         $( "#stage2" ).html( "<h1>Starts,  Count : "  +  count  +  "</h1>" );
                    } );

                    /* Get called when request completes. */
                    $( document ).ajaxComplete( function( event,  request,  set )  {
                         count ++;
                         $( "#stage3" ).html( "<h1>Completes,  Count : "  +  count  +  "</h1>" );
