A couple ways to go about this.. one, use a flag so that if one action
is in progress you back out of the other. Not the best solution since if
you click two different links you will get the results for the first and
the user will be like "wtf mate, I clicked this and I got that". Or, you
cancel the Ajax request that is in-progress and start the new one. I
posted about canceling in-progress requests a while back but never
submitted a patch for it but a patch is really the only way to do that
because different browsers need special cases to cancel properly. I also
suggested caching requests so that any in-progress requests could be
canceled on page unload to prevent problems in IE. Another possibility,
you could probably override the insertion function to use a queue of
some sort, I dunno.. I personally would like to see a patch for
Prototype that adds support for cancelling requests as this is really
the correct solution. I laid the groundwork for it but don't have the
time or energy to get a patch accepted.
Good luck,
Colin
