POJScript Wait function
text
Body
copied!<p>I have a function written in JScript (Not javascript) I need to suspend until a certain global variable becomes true. The global variable is changed to true when another function is called after an ajax response:</p> <pre><code>function(req, event, data) { globalVariable = true; } </code></pre> <p>When I try to loop until the variable is true:</p> <pre><code>while (globalVariable!= true) { } </code></pre> <p>I go into a busy waiting and the callback function is never called.</p> <p>Some suggested the use of WScript.wait() but my app doesn't seam to know WScript. SetTimeout() also won't help because it's asynchronic call and won't suspend my original function.</p> <p>Any other suggestion?</p> <p>Some more information regarding my question: I want my script to call 2 functions:</p> <pre><code>waitWhileAjaxIsNotCompleted(); doSomthingElse(); </code></pre> <p>I want the <em>waitWhileAjaxIsNotCompleted()</em> to click a button that submits an ajax request (implemented by A4J) and terminate upon the ajax completion. In order for me to know when does tha ajax completed, I registered a function as a listener that will be awaken when the ajax completes. This function changes a globalVariable value. My <em>waitWhileAjaxIsNotComplete()</em> goes into an infinite loop, waiting for the glovalVariable value to change. When it does change (After the listener has awaken), I can end the function ad continue with the <em>doSomthingElse()</em> function.</p> <p>You can see more on the implementation on: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1199534/qtp-web-extensibilty-toolkit-and-ajax">QTP Web extensibilty toolkit and ajax</a></p>
