I have the html/jquery code shown below. When open the page I get an alert "Undefined" followed by the alert "Error - pcsdBase" from the ajax 'error' function. The "undefined" seems to come from the jquery library ....
// Main method
ajax: function( url, options ) {
// If url is an object, simulate pre-1.5 signature
if ( typeof url === "object" ) {
options = url;
url = undefined;
}
at line 9375 in this library
My code is
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.5.0.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function getText() {
$.ajax({

dataType: 'text',
success: function (txt, textStatus) {
alert('text=' + txt)
return txt;
},
error: function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
alert('Error - ' + section + '.html');
}
})
}
$(document).ready(function() {
alert(getText());
})
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p>Alert should say From file</p>

What am I doing wrong?
