Here is my problem.
When My Home page shows, I call the LoadUser functions, which on success, sets the globalUser variable with the returned json, and after it loads I call the alert function but it says globalUser is undefined. I have tried many other work arounds, but I always get the undefined mesage.
If I call the alert(globalUser); on the success function, it works as expected alerting the object.
$('#Home').live('pageshow', function(event) {
$.when(LoadUser()).done(function(a1) {
alert(globalUser);
});
});
function LoadUser() {
$.ajax({
// connects with the web service and validate de user input
url: "http://localhost:51396/Icademy.asmx/GetUser",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
data: { "userName": "'rodrigo'" },
dataType: "jsonp",
success: function(json) {
globalUser = JSON.parse(json.d);
return globalUser;
},
error: function(ret) {
alert("Um erro ocorreu, tente novamente mais tarde.");
}
});
}
