Using JQuery AJAX to post data to SurveyJS instead of XMLHttpRequest

created 7 years ago

I recently asked this question and it was answered professionally by Serge.

However, while I was trying to put the working code into an Adapt Learning Course (https://www.adaptlearning.org/),,) it could not work. I hence asked on the Adapt Learning Community forum and received this reply: https://community.adaptlearning.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=3431

Summary of reply from Adapt: I should use JQuery AJAX (because it is inbuilt into the Adapt Learning framework) instead of XMLHttpRequest.

I then tried to make a similar code work in the browser:

but I received this error:

This is a screenshot to show that the XMLHttpRequest approach works to post data to SurveyJS:

Please advise as to how to use JQuery AJAX instead of XMLHttpRequest. Thanks!

    Hello,

    To be honest - I've not checked it, but I've reviewed our code and found that in AJAX we do not stringify data, e.g. code that updates survey JSON:

    JavaScript
    $.ajax({
    url: "UrlToYourWebService",
    type: "POST",
    data: {
        surveyId: yourEditUniqueSurveyI,
        surveyText : editor.text
    },
    success: function (data) {
        callback(saveNo, data.isSuccess);
    },
    error: function (xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError) {
        callback(saveNo, false);
        alert(thrownError);
    }
});

    Thanks, Serge

      Hi Serge,

      You are right!

      I modified the code to be like this and it works in the browser.

      JavaScript
      var data = { postId: 'someID', surveyResult: JSON.stringify(newSurvey.data) }; // You need to know the postId and survey.data

$.ajax({
  type: "POST",
  url: "https://dxsurveyapi.azurewebsites.net/api/Survey/post/",
  data: data,  //no further stringification
  success: success
});

      Now for Adapt Learning… Hope it works.
