    <p>I am having one small problem with my code. I am sending a POST request to my page, after I am done it should return "OK" meaning it worked. From inside my handler function I call set_var(data) to set my global variables text, but the problem is my print_info() returns undefined.</p> <p>I've spent a lot of time on this and realize my problem has to do with scoping somehow but I am not sure how to go about fixing it. If anyone can provide any pointers, that would be great.</p> <pre><code>&lt;? if($_REQUEST['action'] == 'test') { echo "OK"; die; } ?&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.6.1.js" &gt;&lt;/script&gt; &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt; var ajax_post_result; function set_var(data) { //PRINTS MY TEXT OK alert("SET:: " + data); //SET TO MY GLOBAL VARIABLE ajax_post_result = data; //ALSO PRINTS OK alert("SET2:: " + ajax_post_result); } function return_handler(data, textStatus) { //THESE BOTH WORK ... BUT ONLY HERE AND WITHIN set_var() //alert("1: " + data); //PRINTS WHAT I NEED //CALL FUNCTION TO SET GLOBAL VARIABLE set_var(data); } function print_info() { return ajax_post_result; } function ajax_post(file, data ) { $.post( file, data, return_handler); //PRINTS UNDEFINED alert("RETURN:: " + print_info() ); } &lt;/script&gt; &lt;form id=newform name='testform'&gt; &lt;input type="hidden" name="newexample" value="1"&gt; Enter Something: &lt;input name="something" id='something1' value="" type="text"&gt; &lt;input type="button" value="Submit" name="Submit" onclick="ajax_post('index.php?action=test', $('#newform').serialize() ); return false;"&gt; &lt;/form&gt; </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
