return from jquery ajax call
- by michael
hi im tryin to use the return from a jquery ajax call in my own function, but it keeps returning undefined.
function checkUser2(asdf) {
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
async: false,
url: "check_user.php",
data: { name: asdf },
success: function(data){
return data;
//alert(data);
}
});
}
$("#check").click(function(){
alert(checkUser2("muma"));
});
the ajax call definately works, because when i uncomment my alert i get the correct return, and i can see it in firebug. Am i doing something stupid.
