jquery - Javascript - AJAX request inside loops -


i'm using jquery send ajax request, retrieving data server.

that data appended element. should happen 5 times, happen randomly either 3, 4, or 5 times. basically, loop skip ajax request, majority of time catches it. how make sure completes request 5 times every time? , reason behind random behavior of skipping ajax request?(side note. i've checked request errors, never alerted of request failure)

here's js:

while (counter < 6) {     $.ajax({         url:'http://whisperingforest.org/js/getquote.php',         async: false,         datatype: 'jsonp',         success:function(data){             $('.quotelist').append('<li>' + data +'</li>');             totalquotes++;         }     });     counter++; } 

p.s. happens on button press.

don't synchronously. use callback. here demo you: http://jsfiddle.net/y45lfupw/4/

<ul class="quotelist"></ul> <input type="button" onclick="getdata();" value="go it!">  <script> var counter = 0;  window.getdata=function() {     /* if block has nothing op. resets demo can ran more once. */     if (counter===5) {         $('.quotelist').empty();         counter = 0;     }      $.ajax({         /* whisperingforest.org url not longer valid, found new 1 similar... */         url:'http://quotes.stormconsultancy.co.uk/random.json',         async: true,         datatype: 'jsonp',         success:function(data){             $('.quotelist').append('<li>' + data.quote +'</li>');             counter++;             if (counter < 5) getdata();         }     }); } </script> 

setting async false blocks main thread (responsible executing javascript, rendering screen, etc) , waits xhr complete.

this terrible idea. users don't unresponsive uis. (https://stackoverflow.com/a/20209180/3112803)

just search stackoverflow ajax async: false , find many explanations on this. discourage using async:false. here's great explanation: https://stackoverflow.com/a/14220323/3112803
