I'm not sure if I'm right on this one, BUT the functioncall doesn't
stop the "flow" does it?
If so then when you do this:
if(mode == "edit"){
var userObj = getActiveUsers();
dump(userObj); // <-- This gets executed before the ajaxcall has completed.
}
And that would explain why you get the right output when using
dump(ActiveUsers) in the success part of $.ajax.
I had a similar problem, creating thumbnails in a forloop and noticed
when using firebug that I had approx 50 connections.
Oh...
Reading Karl's comment, and checking the source again... you're not
returning ActiveUsers, and it isn't a global, so unless you run into
the same problem after returning ActiveUsers you can just forget my
rambling above.
