I have a javascript function that calls a generic function to make an ajax call to the server. I need to retrieve a result (true/false) from the callback function of the ajax call, but the result I get is always 'undefined'.

A super-simplified version of the generic function without all my logic would be:

function CallServer(urlController) {

    $.ajax({

        type: POST,

        url: urlController,

        async: false,

        data: $(form).serialize(),

        success:

            function(result) {

                if (someLogic)

                   return true;

                else

                   return false;

            },

        error:

            function(errorThrown) {

                return false;

            }

    });

}

And the function calling it would be something like:

function Next() {

        var result = CallServer(/Signum/TrySave);

        if (result == true) {

            document.forms[0].submit();

        }

    }

The result variable is always 'undefined', and debugging it I can see that the return true line of the callback function is being executed.

Any ideas of why this is happening? How could I bubble the return value from the callback function to the CallServer function?

Thanks
