Rails spinoffs - May 2007 - onSuccess function to run from one of several ajax requests

Pardon this question if it''s been asked many times.

I''ll have a couple of functions that make Ajax calls, and I need to
know how to set things up so a single function can be run on success
of either ajax request. Every example I see is showing onSuccess:
function(transport) etc. and need to know how to pass the response
text to my own function elsewhere in the JavaScript file.

TIA,

youngApprentice

This is less a prototype question that a javascript question.

The syntax
function(p) {
	return p;
}

creates an anonymous (unnamed) function.  Thus
var obj = {
	onSuccess: function(p) {
		return p;
	}
}

is an object whose onSuccess field which contains that function.  You
can also certainly name the function in the usual way, however.

function identity(p) {
	return p;
}
var obj1 = {
	onSuccess: identity
}
var obj2 = {
	onSuccess: identity
}

Both obj1 and obj2''s onSuccess field now points to the identity
function.

Another way to avoid the repetition would be to create a wrapper for
Ajax.Request which sets the onSuccess anonymously.
