Global Variable staying undefined with Ajax Response

[newtojavascript]

I have made 30 attempts to try and update my global variable but it keeps saying undefined. I've tried setting a timer function, passing the response to a another function, etc. Can someone please tell me how to fix this?

(function (d) {
var jsonobjvar; // < -- stays undefined

jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {
    var data = {
        'url': 'ajax.php',
        'action': 'my_other_action', // arbitrary
        'whatever_other': name      // arbitrary
    };
    // making a response alert with the data
    jQuery.post(data.url, data, function (response) {
        var jsonobj = $.parseJSON(response);
        alert('Got this from the server: ' + response);
            jsonobjvar = response;
            jsonobjvar;
        };
    });
});
})(document);

When are you checking this variable? It's not terribly global, because it's defined within that anonymous function. It goes out of scope when that function returns.

Can't help you with that hence i don't work with JQ.
Maybe you should check if response really returns an object or not.

What exactly is your alert splashs back? (By the way, bad idea to use alert for an object. Use console.log instead)

PLUS:

Try

var jsonobjvar; ///Now it's global
(function (d) {

instead of

(function (d) {
var jsonobjvar;

And what the h... should that be???

jsonobjvar = response;
jsonobjvar; <------??????????????????????????????????????????????
