jQuery: wait for function to complete to continue processing?

Question

Hey all. I have, what appears to be, a trivial problem. I have the following JavaScript:

$(function() {
    var r = GetResults();

    for(var i = 0; i <

I've run into something similar before. You'll have to run the ajax call synchronously.

Here is my working example:

$.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: "/services/GetResources",
    contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
    dataType: "json",
    data: '{resourceFileName:"mapedit",culture:"' + $("#lang-name").val() + '"}',
    cache: true,
    async: false, // to set local variable
    success: function(data) {
        localizations = data.d;
    }
});
