I use prototype to do my AJAX development, and I use the code like this:
somefunction: function(){
var result = "";
myAjax = new Ajax.Request(postUrl, {
method: 'post',
postBody: postData,
contentType: 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
onComplete: function(transport){
if (200 == transport.status) {
result = transport.responseText;
}
}
});
return result;
}
And I find that the "result" is an empty string. So, I tried this:
somefunction: function(){
var result = "";
myAjax = new Ajax.Request(postUrl, {
method: 'post',
postBody: postData,
contentType: 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded',
onComplete: function(transport){
if (200 == transport.status) {
result = transport.responseText;
return result;
}
}
});
}
But it didn't work also. How can I get the responseText for other method to use?
