Use variable outside the success function from an ajax/jquery call

Question

I have the following code

var test;
     $.ajax({
        type: \"GET\",
        url: \"../views/person/controller.php?actor=person&action=checkAge\",
           


        

Answer 1

Probably because Validate.fail(test) occurs immediately after the asynchronous call. Remember it is ASYNCHRONOUS, meaning it executes parallel to javascript running on your page.
