trigger after previous function finish

[ggalan]

what is the best way to trigger a ajax call after the post happens?
this is what i have

function ajaxCall(name, prodid){
	$.ajax({
		type: "POST",
		url: "shortList.php",
		data: ({'name':name, 'prodid':prodid }),
		success: function(msg){ 
			$('#listColumn').html(msg); 
		}
	});
}

$("#output a").click(function () {

	var name = $(this).text();
	var prodid = $("#prodid").val();

	$.post("class/i.Name.php", { name: name, prodid: prodid },
	function(data){
		$("#listColumn").html(data);
	});

	ajaxCall(name, prodid);// trigger this after all the above is done

});

I may have misunderstood the question, if so pleas clarify. But how about just moving it into the callback for the post:

function ajaxCall(name, prodid){
	$.ajax({
		type: "POST",
		url: "shortList.php",
		data: ({'name':name, 'prodid':prodid }),
		success: function(msg){ 
			$('#listColumn').html(msg); 
		}
	});
}

$("#output a").click(function () {

	var name = $(this).text();
	var prodid = $("#prodid").val();

	$.post("class/i.Name.php", { name: name, prodid: prodid },
	function(data){
		$("#listColumn").html(data);
		ajaxCall(name, prodid);// trigger this after all the above is done
	});

});

yes, that did it!
btw, how do you highlight yellow inside [code] ?

[jscheuer1]

Using the mouse and/or keyboard select the text you want highlighted. Then click on the #i icon on the editor (toward the top, somewhat to the right). It will surround the selected text with:

[ICODE]This would be highlighted but for some clever use of the text color utility to make the tags appear as normal text.[/ICODE]

tags and thereby highlight it. You can also do it outside of a code block. Or you may if you wish type the tags manually.

Inside a tag block it will only work for the [CODE][/CODE] and [QUOTE][/QUOTE] tags, the HTML and PHP code blocks have syntax highlighting so ignore formatting tags within their borders.
