Answer 1

This is the way AJAX works (asynchronously, like the name suggests). The showGetResult function returns before the AJAX call completes. showGetResult will therefore simply return null since that's what you've assigned to result.

Move any code that depends on the result of the AJAX call inside the success callback. Alternatively, you could make the call synchronous, but that's not usually what you want.
