your code is close, but because ajax is ASYNCHRONOUS the var gets set
after the alert is executed.
normally you would do everything that deals with the lk_id inside the
success function (or a function called from inside the success
function)

Hi,
I have some problems setting a global variable from within the success()
function inside a .post.
Here is a simplified version of what I have:
function addedit() {
var lk_id=0;
$.ajax({url:'ajax/my_script.php',
type:'POST',
dataType:'html',
data:'optype=add',
success:function(data) {
if (data!=null data!='') {
//alert(lk_id);
lk_id=parseInt(data);
}
}
});
alert(lk_id);
}
My script returns a single number and I want lk_id to get that value in
the success() function of the ajax call.
The commented alert() in the success function can read the value of the
outer lk_id (in this case 0), lk_id is set to the new value but the last
alert() of the function returns 0 again.
This function is called from a link with the onclick=addedit()
attribute. I am using firefox 2
I suppose I could use the load() function to put the result in a hidden
input, then read that input but it seems a little too complicated.
Any help regarding this problem is appreciated
