The approach you suggest is not guaranteed to give you the result you're looking for - what if you had a tbody
for example:
<table id="myTable">
<tbody>
<tr>...</tr>
<tr>...</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
You would end up with the following:
<table id="myTable">
<tbody>
<tr>...</tr>
<tr>...</tr>
</tbody>
<tr>...</tr>
</table>
I would therefore recommend this approach instead:
$('#myTable tr:last').after('<tr>...</tr><tr>...</tr>');
You can include anything within the after()
method as long as it's valid HTML, including multiple rows as per the example above.
Update: Revisiting this answer following recent activity with this question. eyelidlessness makes a good comment that there will always be a tbody
in the DOM; this is true, but only if there is at least one row. If you have no rows, there will be no tbody
unless you have specified one yourself.
DaRKoN_ suggests appending to the tbody
rather than adding content after the last tr
. This gets around the issue of having no rows, but still isn't bulletproof as you could theoretically have multiple tbody
elements and the row would get added to each of them.
Weighing everything up, I'm not sure there is a single one-line solution that accounts for every single possible scenario. You will need to make sure the jQuery code tallies with your markup.
I think the safest solution is probably to ensure your table
always includes at least one tbody
in your markup, even if it has no rows. On this basis, you can use the following which will work however many rows you have (and also account for multiple tbody
elements):
$('#myTable > tbody:last-child').append('<tr>...</tr><tr>...</tr>');
Most of the jQuery Ajax methods return an XMLHttpRequest (or the equivalent) object, so you can just use abort()
.
See the documentation:
- abort Method (MSDN). Cancels the current HTTP request.
- abort() (MDN). If the request has been sent already, this method will abort the request.
var xhr = $.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "some.php",
data: "name=John&location=Boston",
success: function(msg){
alert( "Data Saved: " + msg );
}
});
//kill the request
xhr.abort()
UPDATE:
As of jQuery 1.5 the returned object is a wrapper for the native XMLHttpRequest object called jqXHR. This object appears to expose all of the native properties and methods so the above example still works. See The jqXHR Object (jQuery API documentation).
UPDATE 2:
As of jQuery 3, the ajax method now returns a promise with extra methods (like abort), so the above code still works, though the object being returned is not an xhr
any more. See the 3.0 blog here.
UPDATE 3: xhr.abort()
still works on jQuery 3.x. Don't assume the update 2 is correct. More info on jQuery Github repository.

I tested it! And found that the version of the
Chart.js
you were used is0.2.0
, but it doesn't has theaddData
method.You should use the latest version, and try again, it should work!
