jQuery: Return data after ajax call success [duplicate]

Answer 1

Idk if you guys solved it but I recommend another way to do it, and it works :)

    ServiceUtil = ig.Class.extend({
        base_url : 'someurl',

        sendRequest: function(request)
        {
            var url = this.base_url + request;
            var requestVar = new XMLHttpRequest();
            dataGet = false;

            $.ajax({
                url: url,
                async: false,
                type: "get",
                success: function(data){
                    ServiceUtil.objDataReturned = data;
                }
            });
            return ServiceUtil.objDataReturned;                
        }
    })

So the main idea here is that, by adding async: false, then you make everything waits until the data is retrieved. Then you assign it to a static variable of the class, and everything magically works :)
