not just alert. when shown to table `$('#sampleTbl tbody').append('' + ran + '');` Its show `[object object]` too — Stfvns, Nov 07 '15 at 18:12
You need to use .done and put the alert inside it. The Ajax methods are asynchronous so you need to use a callback function to resolve the result. Read up on promises — vbranden, Nov 07 '15 at 18:15
thank its work `var ran = $.get('index.php?r=registrations/get-random-code').done(function(data) { alert( "Data: " + data ); });` @vbranden — Stfvns, Nov 07 '15 at 18:22
Please get urself familiar to use console.log().Its developer's friendly. At least for me. — Nizam, Nov 20 '15 at 08:01

var ran = $.get('index.php?r=registrations/get-random-code').done(function(data) {
    alert( "Data: " + data );
});
