This is what I have:

2. jQuery.validator.addMethod("username", function(value, element) {
3.      var result = false;
4.      $.get("includes/checkUsername.php?user="+value, function(data){
5.      if(data == "0") {
6.      result = true;
7.      }
8.      });
9.      return result;
10.     }, "Username not available");

As you can see, I'm trying to change the value of "var result" to true, but since that is outside of my $.get() it doesn't seem to happen. I tried to put the return command inside the $.get function, but then my validator always keep saying it's a false check.

Is there anyway I can call that var inside my $.get function?
