javascript - Ajax Call in For Loop, For Loop Completing Before all Calls are Made

I have created a for loop that loops the number of times that an element appears in a container. The for loop grabs some data from the HTML and creates a JSON url which will then return a value. That value should then be added to the HTML in the appropriate place.

The problem seems that the for loop completes before all of the Ajax calls are made, so only the last value is being added to the HTML. I thought that I could make sure that the readystate is equal to 4, but that solution did not work. I also tried using complete, rather than success as an Ajax Event. Any insights? Here is my the code.

for(var index = 0; index < $('#wizSteps #step6 label').length; index++){
    var priceCount;
    console.log(index);
    var currentSelect = $('#wizSteps #step6 label[data-pricepos="'+index+'"]');
    url = 'http://www.thesite.com/api/search.json?taxonomy=cat3435' + currentSelect.find('input').attr('name');
    jQuery.ajax({

        url: url,
        dataType: "JSON",
        success: function( data ){
            var totalResult = data.totalNumberOfResults;
            console.log(currentSelect);
            currentSelect.find('.itemCount').text(totalResult);

        }     
    });
}

Answer

It looks like you don't necessarily need the requests to finish in order, you just need to keep track of currentSelect in a way that works. For that, you can use the context ajax option:

for (var index = 0; index < $('#wizSteps #step6 label').length; index++) {
    var currentSelect = $('#wizSteps #step6 label[data-pricepos="' + index + '"]');
    url = 'http://www.thesite.com/api/search.json?taxonomy=cat3435' + currentSelect.find('input').attr('name');
    jQuery.ajax({
        url: url,
        dataType: "JSON",

        context: currentSelect,
        success: function (data) {
            var totalResult = data.totalNumberOfResults;
            this.find('.itemCount').text(totalResult);

        }
    });
}
