I'm working on a wordpress editor for my blog, and need to be able to make sure that the function doGET() is finished before I click the save button with javascript or jquery. The doGET function might take a tad of time as I'm in a country with incredible slow internet connection...
$('#xmlbutton').click(function() { doGET(); document.getElementById("save-post").click(); }) You have to put...
document.getElementById("save-post").click(); in the callback of doGET() since it's an asynchronous operation.
Since I don't have all your code I made a little example.
$('#xmlbutton').on('click', function(){ $.get('/post/edit', {"id":"12"}, function(result){ $('#save-post').trigger('click'); }) }); PS: Instead of $('#save-post').trigger('click'); you should probably do $('#save-post-buttons-form').trigger('submit');.
