AJAX男团something,javascript - jquery ajax call taking too long or something - Stack Overflow

I have a form that I want to ensure the paypal email address is valid before I submit. So i am making a jquery submit call like this

$('#new_user').submit(function(){

$.ajax({

type: 'post',

url: "/validate_paypal",

dataType: 'json',

data: {email : $('#user_paypal_email').val()},

success: function( data ) {

if (data.response["valid"] == false){

$('#user_paypal_email').closest('.field').addClass('fieldWithErrors');

$('#user_paypal_email').append('This is not a valid email address');

return false;

}else{

return true;

}

}

});

but the problem is this call thats a second and the page already refreshes before the ajax is complete....if I put the return false at the end of the call I can see my json is correct but for some reason the way I have it now wont finish...any ideas on how to correct this
