How do I avoid the following error when trying to take data from an AJAX call and plug it into another function when I click the submit button?
The console.log call in the ajax function shows that the data is grabbed and I'd hoped then stored in json_data.
The aim was then to use this data to alter a string submitted through an HTML form.
The error is then returned at the line in the 'click' function:
console.log(json_data.length);
<title>Test Form</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7/jquery.min.js"></script>
<style>
#results_box {
border: red 5px solid;
}
#place {
border: #cccccc 1px solid;
}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
var json_source = "https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/list/0ApL1zT2P00q5dG1wOUMzSlNVV3VRV2pwQ2Fnbmt3M0E/od7/public/basic?alt=json";
var string_data ="";
var json_data = $.ajax({
dataType: 'jsonp',
url: json_source,
success: function(data){
var data_obj = [];
for (i=0; i<data.feed.entry.length; i++){
var el = {'key': data.feed.entry[i].title['$t'], 'value': '<p><a href="'+data.feed.entry[i].content['$t']+'>'+data.feed.entry[i].title['$t']+'</a></p>'};
data_obj.push(el)};
console.log("data grabbed");
return data_obj;
},
error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown){
$('#results_box').html('<h2>Something went wrong!</h2><p><b>' + textStatus + '</b> ' + errorThrown + '</p>');
}
});
$(':submit').click(function(event, json_data){
event.preventDefault();
console.log(json_data.length);
//function
if ($('#place').val() !=''){
var copy_string = $('#place').val();
var converted_string = copy_string;
for (i=0; i<json_data.length; i++){
//console_log(data.feed.entry[i].title['$t']);
converted_string = converted_string.replace(json_data.feed.entry[i].title['$t'],
'<a href="'+json_data.feed.entry[i].content['$t']+'>'+json_data.feed.entry[i].title['$t']+'</a>');
}
$('#results_box').text(converted_string).html();
}

You are not passing the variable correctly. One fast solution is to make a global variable like this:
var global_json_data;
$(document).ready(function() {
var json_source = "https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds/list/0ApL1zT2P00q5dG1wOUMzSlNVV3VRV2pwQ2Fnbmt3M0E/od7/public/basic?alt=json";
var string_data ="";
var json_data = $.ajax({
dataType: 'json', // Return JSON
url: json_source,
success: function(data){
var data_obj = [];
for (i=0; i<data.feed.entry.length; i++){
var el = {'key': data.feed.entry[i].title['$t'], 'value': '<p><a href="'+data.feed.entry[i].content['$t']+'>'+data.feed.entry[i].title['$t']+'</a></p>'};
data_obj.push(el)};
console.log("data grabbed");
global_json_data = data_obj;
return data_obj;
},
error: function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown){
$('#results_box').html('<h2>Something went wrong!</h2><p><b>' + textStatus + '</b> ' + errorThrown + '</p>');
}
});
$(':submit').click(function(event){
var json_data = global_json_data;
event.preventDefault();
console.log(json_data.length);
//function
if ($('#place').val() !=''){
var copy_string = $('#place').val();
var converted_string = copy_string;
for (i=0; i<json_data.length; i++){
//console_log(data.feed.entry[i].title['$t']);
converted_string = converted_string.replace(json_data.feed.entry[i].title['$t'],
'<a href="'+json_data.feed.entry[i].content['$t']+'>'+json_data.feed.entry[i].title['$t']+'</a>');
}
$('#results_box').text(converted_string).html();
}
});
});//document ready end
