Hi,

Can anyone explain me what does the below line return?

function mycallback(response){

 var variable_name = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("variable_name");

////////.......... some piece of code

}

Thanks in advance

@Nandhinisri 

it's a syntax to get the value from AJAX function

Nowadays we use getXMLAnswer() syntax to get the value from ajax

var ga = new GlideAjax('checkRecords');
    ga.addParam('sysparm_name', "checkRecordPresent");
    ga.addParam('sysparm_userID', g_form.getValue('user_id_variable')); // give here user_id variable name
    ga.getXMLAnswer(function(answer){

aler(answer); // this gives you the response
 });

Hi @Nandhinisri ,This is the callback function executed after the GlideAjax call. It retrieves whatever value is returned by the client-callable script include. 

Please see : GlideAjax Example Cheat Sheet - ServiceNow Community

If you can provide screenshots of the script include and client-side script, I can give a more precise answer.
