In the sample I've put together, I need to:
- Use a jquery POST inside $(document).ready to grab a "ticket" I use later
- On success of the post, call another function ("AddTicketAndRender()") and pass in that ticket
- In AddTicketAndRender(), replace a placeholder value in an HTML template with the ticket that was passed in. The HTML template defines an object I need to render.
Add the HTML template to body and render:
function addTicketAndRender(incomingTicket){
//For now, just touch the spinner, don't worry about the ticket.
var template = $('#tableauTemplate').html(),
filledTemplate = template.replace('{placeholder}','yes');
$('body').append( filledTemplate );}
I have this working in jsfiddle:

However, when I combine the HTML and JavaScript together into a single htm file, the visualization I want isn't getting rendered in Chrome, IE, or Firefox.
Here is complete source from the HTM that isn't working. Can anyone see something that is obviously wrong? My markup & script is below and/or here: http://tableau.russellchristopher.org:81/rfc1.htm

var template = $('#tableauTemplate').html(),
filledTemplate = template.replace('{placeholder}','no');
$('body').append( filledTemplate );
console.log(incomingTicket);
console.log("Appended.");
}
$(document).ready(function() {
console.log("ready");
var trustedURL = "http://tableau.russellchristopher.org/trusted",
userName = "foo",
serverURL = "http://tableau.russellchristopher.org/";
$.post(trustedURL, {
username: userName,
server: serverURL,
client_ip: "",
target_site: ""
}, function(response) {
addTicketAndRender(response);
});
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
Calls to console.log in the success function are logging correct information - so I know I'm getting where I need to - but the object doesn't seem to be doing what it needs to.
