Promote callback onSuccess return value to the Caller Function return value

I have a javascript function that calls a generic function to make an ajax call to the server. I need to retrieve a result (true/false) from the callback function of the aja

Just in case you want to go the asynchronous way (which is a better solution because it will not freeze your browser while doing the request), here is the code:

function CallServer(urlController, callback) {
    $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: urlController,
        async: true,
        data: $("form").serialize(),
        success:
            function(result) {
                var ret = ( someLogic );
                callback(ret);
            },
        error:
            function(errorThrown) {
                return false;
            }
    });
}

function Next() {
    CallServer("/Signum/TrySave", function(result) {
        if (result == true) {
            document.forms[0].submit();
        }
    });
}
