Returning the html from .ajax call

    // jQuery asy         


        

Answer 1

Why dont you try this:

function getDataFromUrl(urlWithContent)
{  
    // jQuery async request
    $.ajax(
    {
        url: urlWithContent,
        dataType: "html",
        success: function(data) {
                                    $('#dialogDiv').html(data);
                                },
        error: function(e) 
        {
            alert('Error: ' + e);
        }
    });
}

And just call the function and not assign it to any variable.
