[RESOLVED] Return Problem

I’m having a small issue with the following code. The text variable is coming up [I]undefined [/I]when returning the ajax [I]responseText[/I]. The [I]alert(response);[/I] gives me what is in the [I]echo.txt[/I] file but return doesn’t seem to be working.

[code=php]
var text = ajax({
‘url’ : ‘echo.txt’
});

alert(text);
[/code]
[code=php]
function ajax(params)
{
var args = { ‘method’ : ‘GET’, ‘url’ : ‘echo.txt’, ‘async’ : true }

if (params)
{
for (var index in args) { if (typeof params[index] != ‘undefined’) args[index] = params[index]; }
}

var http;
if (window.XMLHttpRequest) { http = new XMLHttpRequest(); }
else { http = new ActiveXObject(‘Microsoft.XMLHTTP’); }

http.onreadystatechange = function()
{
if (http.readyState == 4)
{
var response = http.responseText;
alert(response);
return response;
}
}

http.open(args[‘method’], args[‘url’], args[‘async’]);
http.send();
}
[/code]

Any help is appreciated.
