Arguments
jQuery.ajaxSetup( options )
version added: 1.1
options
key/value
A set of key/value pairs that configure the default Ajax request. All options are optional.
For details on the settings available for $.ajaxSetup(), see $.ajax().
All subsequent Ajax calls using any function will use the new settings, unless overridden by the individual calls, until the next invocation of $.ajaxSetup().
For example, we could set a default for the URL parameter before pinging the server repeatedly:
$.ajaxSetup({
url: 'ping.php',
});
Now each time an Ajax request is made, this URL will be used automatically:
$.ajax({
data: {'name': 'Tim'},
});
Note: Global callback functions should be set with their respective global Ajax event handler methods-
.ajaxStart(),.ajaxStop(),.ajaxComplete(),.ajaxError(),.ajaxSuccess(),.ajaxSend()-rather than within thesettingsobject for$.ajaxSetup().
Example
Sets the defaults for Ajax requests to the url "/xmlhttp/", disables global handlers and uses POST instead of GET. The following Ajax requests then sends some data without having to set anything else.$.ajaxSetup({ url: "/xmlhttp/", global: false, type: "POST" }); $.ajax({ data: myData });
