How can I return a variable from a $.getJSON function

I want to return StudentId to use elsewhere outside of the scope of the $.getJSON()
j.getJSON(url, data, function(result)
{
    var studentId = result.Something;
});

//use studentId here
I would imagine this has to do with scoping, but it doesn't seem to work the same way c# does

Solution:


Yeah, my previous answer does not work because I didn't pay any attention to your code. :)
The problem is that the anonymous function is a callback function - i.e. getJSON is an async operation that will return at some indeterminate point in time, so even if the scope of the variable were outside of that anonymous function (i.e. a closure), it would not have the value you would think it should:
var studentId = null;
j.getJSON(url, data, function(result)
{
    studentId = result.Something;
});

// studentId is still null right here, because this line 
// executes before the line that sets its value to result.Something
Any code that you want to execute with the value of studentId set by the getJSON call needs to happen either within that callback function or after the callback executes.
