the question is fairly simple and technical:
var it_works = false;
$.post("some_file.php", '', function(data) {
it_works = true;
});
alert(it_works); # false (yes, that 'alert' has to be here and not inside $.post itself)
What I want to achieve is:
alert(it_works); # true
Is there a way to do that? If not can $.post() return a value to be applied to it_works?
