Does it?  When does it do that?  As it's called "Ajax" and it has some
option "asynchronous:true" I imagined it would return data some time
after your initial assignment.  We can't tell because we can't see
your code; I had to guess at what new Ajax.Request() might be.  If it
is the one from the Prototype library (are you using that, I can't
tell?) then new Ajax.Request() returns a requester object, not a
string.   The request might well get a string response later (I can't
tell) but nothing is going to happen with that, it's too late.

The usual way to actually use data returned from an asynchronous
function is to use it within the callback.  Example
