php页面加载后如何执行js/jquery代码

Question

I'm calling a php page using a jquery command, this php page will make some sql queries after that it update a cookie value...I want to get this value but only after all the php page has done the full job...I'm using this code right now to call the php page:

$(".emptyBox").load("gettingTime.php");
var setTime = readCookie("timeNow");

The problem in this code is that he load the php page but he does not wait untill in finish it work so the setTime variable it gets the value of the previous php page call...I want it to wait untill the php page finish successfully then it reads the cookie.

Answer 1

Use the complete callback of load()

var setTime

$(".emptyBox").load("gettingTime.php", function(){
   // new html has been loaded here
   setTime = readCookie("timeNow");
});
