Need help with AJAX

I have the following script in my page

Code:
if(window.document.getElementById("hidLg").value=="0") //client is not logged in
{
    var strSQL = "SELECT * From  CUSTOMER WHERE CustUserName = '" + trim(window.document.getElementById("CustUserName").value) +"'";
    url="dodb.asp?sql="+strSQL+"&type=1";
    xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=stateChanged;
    xmlhttp.open("GET",url,true);
    xmlhttp.send(null);
    lo = window.document.getElementById("returnVal").value;
    alert("-"+lo+"-");
    alert("-"+lo+"-");
    if(lo==1)// cust doesn't exist
    {
        url="dodb.asp?type=2";
        xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=stateChanged;
        xmlhttp.open("GET",url,true);
        xmlhttp.send(null);
        //if unsuccesful display error message, exit function
        lo=window.document.getElementById("returnVal").value;
        alert("-"+lo+"-");
        if(lo!=0)
	{
	  alert("error" + lo);
	  return;
	}
      }
      else
      {
        user_err(21);
        alert(error);
        return;
       }
}


function stateChanged()
{
if(xmlhttp.readyState==4)
  {
    window.document.getElementById("returnVal").value=xmlhttp.responseText;
  }
}


What I am attempting to do is, on my customer details page, call an ASP page which checks my DB to see whether customerUserName already exists on the DB, if it doesn't I return a value of 1 (i.e. response.write 1 in my called ASP page) else I return a 0...
I am trying to evaluate the xmlhttp.responseText from the first (calling) function by moving the xmlhttp.responseText to a textbox on the page (returnVal) in the second (called) function.

When evaluating the (returnVal) textbox in the calling function, it always contains null, UNLESS I alert it twice?????? I have also alerted the xmlhttp.responseText in the called function and the value returned is correct?

I assumed this was a timing issue, and needed a "Do Events" so I tried putting in a onSetTimeout, this didn't work...

Is there anyway, I can check the responseText from the calling function?????
