Javascript Child Function Pass The Return To The Parent Function Return

i want to pass the return from a 'child' (i don't know the correct term) function to the return in the parent function... how is the correct way to do this? check_data() isn't retu

Solution 1:

Since $.post is an asynchronous function you can't use it to return data on check_data. However you can pass some callback and execute with true/false argument.

Something like this:

functioncheck_data(type,field,callback){
    var chkvalue = $(field).val();
    $.post("mods/ajax.fieldchk.php", {
        chkvalue: chkvalue,
        type: type
    },
    function(result){
        if(result==0){
            $(field).css({'background-color': '#faa', 'border': '1px solid #f00'});
            callback(true);
        }elseif(result==1){
            $(field).css({'background-color': '#afa', 'border': '1px solid #0f0'});
            callback(false);
        }
    };
}
