It appears that my script does not want to wait for the $.post call to finish. Thats a problem. Here is some pseudo code:

<script type=text/javascript language=javascript>

$(document).ready(function(){

  // Global var, to be used everywhere in the ready scope 

  // Note its default value!    

  var test = false;

  $.post('test.php',{},function(result){

   if(result=='yes')

   {

    // This gets executed!

    alert('Its true! Hurraaay!');

    test = true;

   }

   else

   {

    test = false;

   }

  }



  if(test==false)

  {

   // THIS gets executed, despite the fact that we set test to true!

   alert('Awww....');

  }

  // it reaches this, showing us that there was no error!

  alert('Im alive!!!');

  // and a whoooole bunch of other code here...

}

</script>

What is the best way to make sure that my Post call is finished before continuing, without hanging the browser? Hoping for something that is not too messy. :)
