redirect/render after ajax post/get

[mircoz]

Hey,

I've got a weird problem. I'm using the following code to post data to
my express.js server:

$.ajax({
type: 'get',
url: '/searchapi',
data: {'street': street, city: city, 'streetnumber':
streetnumber},
});

My server code looks like this:

app.get('/searchapi', function(req, res) {
console.log(req.query.city);
console.log(req.query.street);
console.log(req.query.streetnumber);
res.redirect('/searchresults');
});

It all works fine except for the redirect. That does not work at all.
Same problem goes for the method/type "post" instead of "get".
I think the rendered page is somehow sent back to the jquery ajax
request and is processed there internally instead of rendering the new
page (in this case the search results from a database).

How can I render a new page from a jquery ajax get/post request?

Thanks guys!

That's exactly what is happening.  Your client success handler can set the window.location.href to the redirect url

Or assign the result to a div content

$.get(url, function (data) {

   $('#page-container').html(data);

});

//.error(function () {   })

ok thank you! I didn't really understand what was going on during the request. Using window.location.href is a good idea!

The same problem, with different server response (render instead redirect)

$.ajax({

type: 'POST',

data: data,

url: '/criptografar',

success: function(data) {

console.log('success');

// $('body').html(data); <- i don't want it, but if not so, nothing happens (render)

}

});

app.get('/criptografar', function(req, res) { 

        console.log(req.something); 

        res.render('somepage', {somevar: withsomevalue}); <- I want this to work like a normal post

});

Thanks!
