show and Hide loading with Ajax / PHP-CodePudding

I try to do something basic but i block.

I want to add a class to a div for loading when i click on "GO" and remove the class when i get the answer.

My code is :

 $.ajax({
          url: "/send_email",
          type: "POST",
          data: $('form').serialize(),
          beforeSend: function() {
           $('div.loading').classList.add('d-block');
          },
          })
          .done(function(response) {
            $('div.loading').classList.remove('d-block')
            $('div.message').html(response);
          });   
      return false;
  };

The HTML is :

<div >Loading</div>

What im doig wrong ?

Actualy the page reload and in the console i get: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'add')

i try to find my div seperatly and i get it !

I want to show and hide the loader

CodePudding user response：

You're mixing up jQuery code and non-jQuery code. You can use .toggleClass() instead:

$('div.loading').toggleClass('d-block');

classList is part of the element itself, not the jQuery object. Which you can access from jQuery:

$('div.loading').get(0).classList.add('d-block');

But it doesn't make much sense to do so. Since you're already using jQuery, you might as well remain consistent with that.

Actualy the page reload

That sounds like a separate problem entirely, and one that exists outside of the code shown. This may be helpful, but all we can do is guess since the code shown doesn't demonstrate this specific problem.
