Presentation -- JavaScript and AJAX ---- Return value undefined
from $.post  neophyte - 5:17 am on Apr 22, 2012 (gmt 0)  Hello
All -  While I've been coding php for years, I'm a real noob at
javascript/jquery and have been beating my head over this single
function for almost 2 days.  I've cobbled together the
valAgainstDataBase() function (shown below) from an example
found online. All I need is a return value of TRUE OR FALSE
which is echoed from ajax_works_v2.php.  However, all that I get
is from my calling function is "undefined"  Here's the calling
function: function checkLoginForm() var logn =
valAgainstDataBase(); alert('return value: ' + logn);  Here's
the function BEING CALLED that should return TRUE or FALSE:
function valAgainstDataBase() $.post("ajax_works_v2.php",
{username: $('[id=username]').val(), password:
$('[id=password]').val()}, function(data) { return data;  The
.php file is echoing correctly so I know the issue lies
somewhere in valA
