Question

I’m trying to use jsFiddle to simulate an ajax response but I’m getting an undefined value. Does anyone know how to do this? My fiddle is here:

http://jsfiddle.net/heaversm/v75vN/10/

and to see the problem click on “login” from the result box

You are returning from $.ajax‘s callbacks (success and error). Since the $.ajax method give you callback hooks, you should provide the same in the loginUser function

loginUser: function(cidVal, midVal, surveyVal, callback) {

    $.ajax({
        // ...
        success: function(data) { callback(true); },
        error: function(data){ callback(false);},
    });
}

And then use that callback to know when the operation has completed:

loginUser('foo', 'bar', 'far', function (result) {
    alert(result);
});
