Question

I am new to jQuery and I am using ajax request to get an xml as response,

 $.get('testurl',pars,function(data){       xml = data;       $(xml).find('element').each(function(i,item){         if(($(this).attr('id'))!= undefined){         tab_str += '<tr><td>'id'</td><td>'+$(this).attr('id')+'</td></tr>';         }       });     });//get 

In the above code I get the xml back as expected. The only problem is I need to completely construct my table before the rest of the code executes. So I decided to use the $.ajax function with async false. But this time I am not getting anything back. (I check the firebug console, it shows the complete xml in the response section)

var xml = (  $.ajax({                type: 'GET',                url: 'testurl',                data: pars,                aysnc:false               }).responseText); 

In the code above the var xml is empty. Why is this? am I doing something wrong? Please help. Thanks in advance.

If you copied-n-pasted the code in your example, you have async misspelled aysnc. Without that option, it will run asynchronously.
