Question

I am trying to pass variables from an xml file to the father class in js:
the code is basically OOP js.
The class is example and the method is getData().

the thing is that the ajax call doesn’t return the whole values, just the int ones.. weird, I know.

(changed due to T.J. Crowder:)

function example(){
    this.b;
    this.str;
}
example.prototype ={
    getData:function(){
        $.ajax({
                type: "GET",
                url: "Bar.xml",
                dataType: "xml",
                            context: this,
                success: function(xml) {
                    this.b = parseInt($(xml).find('current_madad').text()); //int_from_xml- works!
                           this.str = $(xml).find('graph_title').text(); //string_from_xml - doesnt work!!
            }
        })//end ajax    
    }
};

var c = new example();
c.getData();

the xml file is here. Posted so that you can review that code as well..

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

got it! I am using the data I need and passing it throw a function inside ajax’s success!
getData:function(){

$.ajax({
        type: "GET",
        url: "Bar.xml",
        dataType: "xml",
        context: this,     // <=== Set `context` - this helped me BTW
        success: function(xml) {
           arr.f1 = 1;    // 
           arr.f2 = 876;
           pass_data_to_data_handler_function(arr); //<= so I am waiting for response

})//end ajax

}
