it's possible to possibly wait for the user to stop panning. Currently, when the pan ends, an onEnd event is fired, which then fires off the ajax. So what you're suggesting is that i queue the pan onEnd events?
secondly, i still am confused to why u think jQuery should not offer this support because you believe this is bad. Remember, the idea of ajax is to stop an entire page from loading/refreshing and only retrieving the data that has changed. It's very simple to look at a page and see three _independent_ sections that have 3 different ajax calls .. but please don't forget scenario's like mine .. or even one of the most common scenario's -> autocomplete .. we're there's multi requests to the same ajax service .. where the _option_ of queueing could be available for those who worry. but anyways, you've answered my question :) time to hunt around for stuff...
