Using Prototype 1.5.1.1 (please don't give me a 'you should upgrade' speech,
I have my reasons, thanks :) ):
I have a list of links that all have an Ajax.updater being called on a
mouseover
eg:
<a href="dosomething.php?pageid=1234" class="info"
onmouseover="updateDiv();">link to page 1234</a>
<a href="dosomething.php?pageid=234" class="info"
onmouseover="updateDiv();">link to page 234</a>
<a href="dosomething.php?pageid=34" class="info"
onmouseover="updateDiv();">link to page 34</a>
<a href="dosomething.php?pageid=4" class="info"
onmouseover="updateDiv();">link to page 4</a>
<a href="dosomething.php?pageid=5" class="info"
onmouseover="updateDiv();">link to page 5</a>
what I want to do is prevent the user from just running their mouse up and
down the list and creating about 500 ajax calls to pound my server in the
matter of 10 seconds and limit them to 1 active request or maybe make it so
that the ajax call won't happen until their mouse has been over the link for
at least 1 full second.
I was thinking using an Event.Observe($('.info'),'onmouseover',
but thats about where I get lost, I'm not sure how to implement a timer
any help would be appreciated.
