Evaluating a Block from Within the Success Block of an Ajax Call

Hi guys,

I know we still have some issues left for 0.9.1, but I think it's really
time for a release.

So I propose moving the remaining issues to 0.9.2 and releasing :)

Cheers,
Nico

Hmm, that's odd. There's no reason why it shouldn't work. And the JS
equivalent works fine:

function foo(fn) {
   jQuery.ajax({
       url: '/',
       success: function() {fn()}
   });
}
foo(function() {alert('it works!')})

Can you add a minimal example showing the issue on the bug tracker?

Cheers,
Nico

I get that error, when I try to access a not-yet stetted ivar (the ivar being undefined then).

Hi,

I don't see a reason why it shouldn't work.
