Array - AJAX - JavaScript

[anujgarg]

Hello Everyone,

 

I have stuck in a problem. The problem is -

I need to loop through an array in javascript. The array is being returned from a php file which i have done using AJAX.

 

Here is the js function:

 

function showDiv() {

 

var strURL="findSubProg.php";

var req = getXMLHTTP();

alert('ads');

if (req) {

req.onreadystatechange = function() {

if (req.readyState == 4) {

// only if "OK"

if (req.status == 200) {

 

var ret_js=req.responseText;

alert(ret_js);

 

return ret_js;

 

} else {

alert("There was a problem while using XMLHTTP:\n" + req.statusText);

}

}

}

req.open("GET", strURL, true);

req.send(null);

}

}

 

function showDiv1(showId) {

 

var myvar=showDiv();

alert(myvar);

}

 

Here I have 'ret_js' as an array returning from the 'findSubProg.php' file. I have to get all elements from that array and store each element in different variables. How should I do that?

 

Another problem is - I am not able to get 'ret_js' value from fn showDiv() to fn showDiv1().

 

Any help would be highly appreciable.

 

TIA
