ajax .responsetext,jQuery ajax responseText 'undefined'

I've got some jQuery which posts two variables to a php script. The PHP is very simple and simply returns a string based on what it's given, i.e. 'update successful' which I'd like to use in some way on the page.

The first time I click I get an alert saying 'undefined', any further clicks and everything works fine. Pretty sure I'm not far off but I can't work out this problem!

I've used firebug and the data is posted and the correct response is received on all attempts.

$(document).ready(function(){

$('#updatehol').click(function() {

additions = $('#additions').attr('value');

deductions = $('#deductions').attr('value');

datastring = 'additions='+ additions +'&deductions='+ deductions;

$.ajax({

type: "POST",

data: datastring,

url: "doadjust.php",

complete: function(data) {

alert(data.responseText);

}

});

});

});
