repeated AJAX call with http code return
<p>When a button is clicked I have a jquery AJAX call such as:</p>

<pre><code>$(".play").click(function(){
    function doAjax(){
        $.ajax({
        url: 'blah.php',
        success: function(data) {
            if (data==250)
            {
                setTimeout(doAjax, 2000);
            }
            else
            {
                $('#quote p').html(data);
            }

        }
        });
    }
    doAjax();
});
</code></pre>

<p>Any data from the server is printed to the div:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;div id="quote"&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>blah.php on the server does some processing to retrieve some status codes:</p>

<pre><code>$r = new HttpRequest('http://localhost...', HttpRequest::METH_GET);
$r-&gt;send();

if ($r-&gt;getResponseCode() == 200)
{
echo "Starting video..."        
//sends a video to play
}
else if ($r-&gt;getResponseCode() == 450)
{
    echo "Oops! Not found...";
}
else if ($r-&gt;getResponseCode() == 550)
{
    echo "Oops! An error occurred...";
}
else if ($r-&gt;getResponseCode() == 250)
{
    echo "Initializing...";
}
else
{
    echo "Now we are in trouble";
}
</code></pre>

<p>The response codes (<code>$r-&gt;getResponseCode()</code>) get returned as I expect, so my problem is with my repeated ajax call with <code>setTimeout</code>. What I want to happen is that when code 250 is returned it prints out <code>Initializing</code>, which it does, but then my AJAX call will repeat because the success function is called with 250.  This doesn't work. It says <code>Initializing</code> but never repeats, because the next step is that I should see <code>Starting video...</code>.</p>

<p>Everything else seems to check out, I guess the problem is with my jquery <code>success</code> function?</p>
