Using ajax result in on( "tabsbeforeactivate") function fails

Question

I try to use a ajax result for a true/false return in a function, but it doesn't work. I have read all about the stuff here so i built the following code:

$( "#toolbox-tabs" ).on( "tabsbeforeactivate", function( event, ui ) {
   validateSession().done(function(r){
     if (r.session)
        return true;
     else
        return false;
   });
});

function validateSession() {
   return $.ajax({
    url: check.php,
    data: {
        session_check : true
    },
    type: 'POST',
    dataType: 'json'
  });
}

check.php is a simple print json_encode(array("session" => true/false)); The problem is that even if r.session is false, the on.function always returns true. Any help would be appreciated!

Kind regards, Matty

might be your calling function in wrong way try this..,

$( ".selector" ).tabs({
  beforeActivate: function( event, ui ) {}
});

Try this in IF..

if(r.session == true){
    return true;
}else{
    return false;
}

same, it always returns true (or, to be more specific, the tab is shown, even if r.session is false) – Matty82 Dec 03 '15 at 11:22
sadly still the same result as before – Matty82 Dec 03 '15 at 12:52
what you have got in `r`. try checking in `console.log(r);` post result here. – Ajay Makwana Dec 03 '15 at 14:08
depends on the session. When the user is not logged in, I have Object { session=false} in Log, but the Tab is showing, so the function get true as return – Matty82 Dec 03 '15 at 14:13
is this print on your console?? – Ajay Makwana Dec 03 '15 at 14:19
