How to read the value returned by an AJAX response
<p>Sorry for the vague title but I'm not sure how to phrase this question.</p>

<p>How do I get the value of a non-element? I want to send a value into a function that is not a class or id.</p>

<p>This is normally how I'm used to getting a value within a function but in this case, I want to send a string into the function. How is this done? Can someone please provide an example?</p>

<pre><code>var url = $('#url').val();
</code></pre>

<p>Something along these lines:</p>

<pre><code>var url = mystring.val();
</code></pre>
