Hi all,

I have a problem with a jQuery ajax call. I need to wait for the call to be finished in order to return a value. However, the script seems to jump ahead and not wait for the call to be over. my function then returns "undefined".

I have tried to use the .ajax() method and set the value of async to false, but this would not work either.

I could I get my function to return the value that I could through the ajax call?

Thank you!

Here is the code:

function get_rsrce_name(){

    jQuery.post(

        '<?php echo admin_url( 'admin-ajax.php' ); ?>',

        { action :'my_action', option_rsrce : 'option_rsrce' },

        function( data ) {

            output =  data.option_name;         

        },

        "json"
    );      

    return output;

}
