Why doesn't this work? jquery javascript

$(document).ready(function() {
  musicList = new array()
  counter = 0;

  if($(".rA, .trA, .dA, .hA").length > 0)
  {

   /*$(".rA, .trA, .dA, .hA").each(function(e){*/
   $(".hA开发者_StackOverflow中文版").each(function(e){

    $.post("/index/audio/ajax.track", { id: $(this).attr("rel") },
       function(data){




                                  /*THIS DOESN'NT WORK */
     musicList.push(data.file);
                                  /*THIS DOESN'NT WORK */
     alert(data.file);/*this words*/
       }, "json");

    counter++;

   });

   if(counter>0)
   {
    alert(counter);
   }
  }


});

I don't see anything wrong with the code but I have no idea why it won't work I just spent 3 hours trying to get it to work

/edit/ fixed it... the push was working the alert(counter) was a little dumb of me cause of ajax = async

thanks everybody

• Declare the variables before you use them
• Always end statements with ;.
• Ditch the first if-statement, it doesn't add anything
• You can use $(f) instead of $(document).ready(f) if you want
• You can use [] instead of new Array() if you want

The problem with your code is probably that the function you pass to $.post is being run later on, but control is returned right away, so when you get to the line starting with if(counter>0), the function has never been executed. You can solve this by incrementing a variable each time you call $.post, when you get data back you decrement and check if all posts have returned and if so you do what you want to do. Example:

//...
var list = [];
var counter = 0;
$(".something").each(function() {
  counter++;
  $.post("http://www.example.com/", {foo = "bar"}, function(data) {
    list.push(data);
    counter--;
    if(counter === 0){
      alert(list.length);
    };
  })
});
//...
