在成功处理程序之外获取jquery ajax响应

Question

I know I can do this by setting async: false , but doing so will defeat the purpose of Ajax (this will no longer be Ajax anymore as this will lock my browser until the request is complete). Is it possible AT ALL to get the response from an Ajax request outside of the success handler without setting async: false ?

Please let me know if this is possible

Thank you

You need to have a callback because of the way asynchronous calls work. I don't think there's a way of directly getting the data without blocking.
