How to return jQuery Ajax data to a string

How to return jQuery Ajax data to a string?

code like this:

var data = $.get("e/as/ajax-dialog.php?do=member", function(data) {
    return data;
});
alert(data); == > [object]

[object] is not what I want

I want the ajax callback html code to data[string]..

Update

My idea is wrong

Put result processing in the success handler

$.get("e/as/ajax-dialog.php?do=member", function(data){
   alert(data);
});

In your example, alert(data) will be executed immediately after http request made and long before response is received.

More examples here:
http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.get/

On question update.
There's an example of synchronous request in jquery docs

var html = $.ajax({
  url: "some.php",
  async: false
}).responseText;

It's also explained there why making synchronous requests is generally bad idea. So, use it on your own risk.

In your case it is probably HTML code, just append it to some HTML node in your document and see, it could be jQuery's object wrapper around HTML.

$.get('ajax/test.html', function(data) {
  $('.result').html(data);
});

Also make sure the content-type of "e/as/ajax-dialog.php?do=member" is text/html,
