I don't see the issue. With your $.post(), you set your dataType to 'json', and you're trying to echo that. You'll probably just get 'Object object' as what's alerted.
The 'after-post' will alert depending on your 'async' option setting. By default all AJAX requests are sent asynchronous (hence, the 'A' in AJAX). This means the request will just fire off, and the rest of your script will continue to run (the after-post alert will go off immediately without waiting for your AJAX response). When the response is returned, your AJAX success callback is executed. If you set 'async' to 'false', your script will wait until the AJAX response is returned and the response callback executed before it will continue to the after-post alert.
