Hi,
the function You create, is a callback method. When the task is done,
the callback gets called. You need to update the HTML of the TEST in
the callback. Impossible to use return value of a callback in code
which assigns it.
$('.TEST').html( false );
$('.menulink').mouseover( function(active) {
$('.TEST').html( true );
});
Hope that clarifies !
