How to return the contents of the page loaded by .post, when encased in .when?

Question

This is the basic framework of my page:

$.when(postrequest1, postrequest2).then(function () {
  // how do I access the results of postrequest1 and postrequest 2 here?
});

Answer 1

$.when(postrequest1, postrequest2).then(function (data1,data2) {
  // data1, data2 are arrays of the form [ "success", statusText, jqXHR ] 
});

Simply give data arguments to the anonymous callback function. See $.when() for more details.

Answer 2

Have you tried this?

$.when(postrequest1, postrequest2).then(function (postData1, postData2) {

});

(As long as the post requests are single requests, otherwise the then params can be arrays)

Answer 3

try this

$.when(postrequest1, postrequest2).then(function (a1,a2) {
 var jqXHR1 = a1[2]; /* arguments are [ "success", statusText, jqXHR ] */
  alert(jqXHR1.responseText);

  var jqXHR2 = a2[2]; 
  alert(jqXHR2.responseText); 
});

a1 and a1 are arguments for 1st and 2nd ajax request respectively...

a1 and a2 are array each having keys as (success,statusText,jqXHR)

you can then handle them individually.
