  <p>Trying to return data to var pNow that called .get function.</p>
  
  <pre><code>/* set var to server side script */
  var pNow = getStime();
  
  function getStime() {
  $.get('servertime.asp', function (data) {
    return data;
    //alert(data); 
  });
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>alert(data) confirms the data is valid and coming from the server side script but not getting returned to the var that called it.</p>
