jQuery code doesnt work when i remove alert from my code?

Question

I am loading a data using jQuery load method. It works fine. Now I want to multiple it with 2. eg If i have 1000 I want to multiple it with 2 so that it will become 2000. It works fine only when I include alert in my code. If i remove alert, it returns 1000.

here is my code

$('#<%= qnty.ClientID %>').click(function () {


            var desID = $('#<%= designID.ClientID %>').val();
            var qnty = $('#<%= qnty.ClientID %>').val();

            $("#amountHave").load("AmountRetrieve.aspx?desID=" + desID + "&qnty=" + qnty + " #amountHaveRet");
                if ($("#reverseDes").is(":checked") || $("#plain").is(":checked")) {
                    var slash = ".00/-";
                    var getAmnt = $("#amountHave").text();
                    getAmnt = getAmnt.replace(slash, '');

                    var finamAmount = parseInt(getAmnt, 10) + parseInt(getAmnt, 10);                    
                    //IF I USE ALERT HERE IT WORKS
                    //alert(finamAmount)
                    $("#amountHave").text(finamAmount + slash);

                }                   
                else {
                    $("#blackholder").text("-------- Rs. " + $("#<%= qnty.ClientID %>").val());
                    $("#matchholder").text("-------- Rs. " + $("#<%= qnty.ClientID %>").val());

                }


        });

Any help would be highly appreciated.

You forgot your callback:

$("#amountHave").load("AmountRetrieve.aspx?desID=" + desID + "&qnty=" + qnty + " #amountHaveRet", function(){
    if ($("#reverseDes").is(":checked") || $("#plain").is(":checked")) {
        var slash = ".00/-";
        var getAmnt = $("#amountHave").text();
        getAmnt = getAmnt.replace(slash, '');
        var finamAmount = parseInt(getAmnt, 10) + parseInt(getAmnt, 10);
        $("#amountHave").text(finamAmount + slash);
    }                   
    else {
        $("#blackholder").text("-------- Rs. " + $("#<%= qnty.ClientID %>").val());
        $("#matchholder").text("-------- Rs. " + $("#<%= qnty.ClientID %>").val());
    }
});
