From the jQuery documentation: you specify the asynchronous option to be false to get a synchronous Ajax request. Then your callback can set some data before your mother function proceeds.
Here's what your code would look like if changed as suggested:
beforecreate: function (node, targetNode, type, to) {
jQuery.ajax({
url: 'http://example.com/catalog/create/' + targetNode.id + '?name=' + encode(to.inp[0].value),
success: function (result) {
if (result.isOk == false) alert(result.message);
},
async: false
});
}
With HTML5 you can make file uploads with Ajax and jQuery. Not only that, you can do file validations (name, size, and MIME type) or handle the progress event with the HTML5 progress tag (or a div). Recently I had to make a file uploader, but I didn't want to use Flash nor Iframes or plugins and after some research I came up with the solution.
The HTML:
<form enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input name="file" type="file" />
<input type="button" value="Upload" />
</form>
<progress></progress>
First, you can do some validation if you want. For example, in the .on('change')
event of the file:
$(':file').on('change', function () {
var file = this.files[0];
if (file.size > 1024) {
alert('max upload size is 1k');
}
// Also see .name, .type
});
Now the $.ajax()
submit with the button's click:
$(':button').on('click', function () {
$.ajax({
// Your server script to process the upload
url: 'upload.php',
type: 'POST',
// Form data
data: new FormData($('form')[0]),
// Tell jQuery not to process data or worry about content-type
// You *must* include these options!
cache: false,
contentType: false,
processData: false,
// Custom XMLHttpRequest
xhr: function () {
var myXhr = $.ajaxSettings.xhr();
if (myXhr.upload) {
// For handling the progress of the upload
myXhr.upload.addEventListener('progress', function (e) {
if (e.lengthComputable) {
$('progress').attr({
value: e.loaded,
max: e.total,
});
}
}, false);
}
return myXhr;
}
});
});
As you can see, with HTML5 (and some research) file uploading not only becomes possible but super easy. Try it with Google Chrome as some of the HTML5 components of the examples aren't available in every browser.

I was able to remove the System.Web.Extensions assembly from the references, and then I found and removed all instances of the ScriptManager control.
Once I did this, none of the AJAX framework stuff is rendered to the pages.
I wanted to keep 3.5 for LINQ and other jazz, so just targeting the 2.0 framework wouldn't work.
Thanks for the tips.
