Question

how do i set a js global variable to a json result set in the onload event?

    var global = [];

    $.getJSON("<%: Url.Action("myUrl", "con") %>/", 
     function(data) {
           $.each(data, function(key, val) {
             global.push(val);
           });
    });

global does not have a value set on load, i need to access it outside the json call…

You again. Maybe try

var result;
$.ajax({
    url: '<%: Url.Action("myUrl", "con") %>/',
    dataType: 'json',
    async: false,
    success: function(data) {
        result = data;
    }
});
// process result here
