jQuery: Performing synchronous AJAX requests

Question

I\'ve done some jQuery in the past, but I am completely stuck on this. I know about the pros and cons of using synchronous ajax calls, but here it will be required.

Answer 1

You're using the ajax function incorrectly. Since it's synchronous it'll return the data inline like so:

var remote = $.ajax({
    type: "GET",
    url: remote_url,
    async: false
}).responseText;
