jQuery ajax call with async false is not working

Question

Here I have pasted my code, I want to return the response of $.ajax as response of function a(). But before the result comes up of ajax call, it is returning the empty f. pl

Answer 1

Unless you work for twitter, I would assume it is failing because "Cross-domain requests and dataType: "jsonp" requests do not support synchronous operation."

Deprecated != removed and even if it did I take the deprecation is in the context of the returned jqXHR which are not being used here.

It looks like @Murali provides a work-around, but the above is important to point out for those having issue with same-domain requests.
