Is there any way to wait for AJAX response and halt execution?

Question

Here is some code I\'d like to execute. I\'d like to wait for AJAX response so I can return something from the server. Any way to achieve this?

function func         


        

Answer 1

Method 1:

function functABC(){
    $.ajax({
        url: 'myPage.php',
        data: {id: id},
        success: function(data) {
            return data;
        },
        complete: function(){
              // do the job here
         }
    });
}

var response = functABC();

Method 2

function functABC(){
    $.ajax({
        url: 'myPage.php',
        data: {id: id},
        async: false,
        success: function(data) {
            return data;
        }        
    });

   // do the job here
}
