[jQuery] waiting for a request to complete

Where you're checking the request status you're creating a new request
each time.
You need to store the XHR object from the request and use that
(untested):

    var xhr = $.post("/myhandler.php", params);
    while (xhr.status != 200);


With Firefox 2, I'm getting this error:

[Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80040111
(NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE) [nsIXMLHttpRequest.status]" nsresult:
"0x80040111 (NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE)" location: "JS frame ::
http://pglatz.lifewire.com/sites/pglatz.lifewire.com/modules/plugger/plugger_category.js
:: plugger_debug :: line 194" data: no]
[Break on this error] while (xhr.status != 200);

This is part of a Drupal site, if that makes any difference.

thanks
