Correct it is duplicate question but for answer you should use `async: false` — Ashwin Parmar, Sep 30 '13 at 09:33

Well, you can set async: false on your AJAX call to make the browser wait for the request to finish before doing anything else, but note that this will 'hang' the browser for the duration of the request.

async: false,

Make the ajax call synchronous. As the call is asynchronous, before you get anything back the window is closed.
