jquery ajax get responsetext from http url

ajax, get, jquery, response, responsetext

Solution

You simply must rewrite it like that:

var response = '';
$.ajax({ type: "GET",   
         url: "http://www.google.de",   
         async: false,
         success : function(text)
         {
             response = text;
         }
});

alert(response);

Problem

Neither: ``` var response = $.ajax({ type: "GET", url: "http://www.google.de", async: false, success : function() { alert (this); } }); ``` Nor: ``` var response2 = $.get("http://www.google.de", function(data) { alert("Data Loaded: " + data); }); ``` give me an object. How do I get access to the `responseText`?
