Comments on: Simple AJAX Polling Plugin for jQuery http://www.nickriggs.com/posts/simple-ajax-polling-plugin-for-jquery/ Making stuff up about web development since last week.

It would handle aborting the current operation and suspending future attempts. I'll take a look at doing that.

Super useful. I noticed on tragic flaw in your code though, that is very easily fixed: line 73: jQuery.ajax(options); should be: return jQuery.ajax(options); without the return, there is no way to keep track of these , and you can't abort / etc. you left out the jquery functionality that returns xhtml request objects. Nick-

line 73:

should be:
return jQuery.ajax(options);

without the return, there is no way to keep track of these , and you can’t abort / etc. you left out the jquery functionality that returns xhtml request objects.

Although it will poll away (confirmed by Firebug) I could not get this plugin to actually do something useful. Without an example to show me how I can't use this code!

For example I have to change parameter in a get request to send periodically the client state to the server. Hi, what about dynamic change of url?

May I just make one suggestion? You could use the return value of the success function as the success condition itself. This is because there can probably much coupled logic going on in both success and successCondition functions; also, by using the return value of the success handling function, it can be easier for the developer to condition the continuation of the poll to something that may not be in the contents from the ajax call (such as if a list has been filled in the page of something like that). Great work nonetheless. That’s an interesting plugin, seems quite useful.
