Hi there, I have a globally declared variable where I want to store a mapping table. var _Pagelist=new Map(); The following Ajax call doesn't seem to set _Pagelist above. I think I have set the context parameter correctly to 'this'. I've scoured through Stackoverflow and JQuery documentation but I can't figure out what is wrong. Any pointers would be much appreciated. Thanks if (!pagelist){ SearchWaitDisplay(true); $.ajax({ url: '/site/pagelist.php', context : this , success: function(result) { //here this._Pagelist is null, can't refer to This._Pagelist for (var x=0;x<result.length;x++) { this._Pagelist.set(result[x].id, result[x].url); //This will throw an error as _Pagelist is NULL. }; window.localStorage.setItem('pagelist', JSON.stringify(_Pagelist)); //The following will not update _Pagelist. Next 2 lines are just test code. this._Pagelist = result; window._Pagelist = result; SearchWaitDisplay(false); }, error: function (xhr, ajaxOptions, thrownError) { alert(xhr.status + ' ' + thrownError); } }); } else { //InitialiseSearchField(autocompletelist); }
