[jQuery] Re: Blocking UI for synchronous ajax calls
Hi Mike: Finally I changed the calls to asynchronous. It looks good now. Thanks for your help.

[jQuery] Re: Blocking UI for synchronous ajax calls
Hi Mike: Thank you for your answer. I have understand what do you mean between "lock the browser" and "block th UI". To test it I have put a sleep in my server (in the function that calls the synchronous ajax call ) and I have see that in IE7 and IE8, it´s true, but, in FF3, Opera 10, Chrome 2 the browser is not locked. Maybe there is a hack for this? I have written too much code in this way (for me, this is the logic way to make it) and I don´t want to change it if is not really necessary ;-( On 15 sep, 12:38, Mike Alsup wrote: > > I have tested BlockUI Plugin but it does not start when I call it, > > because I can see with Firebub that the ajax calls are finished when > > BlockUI Plugin starts. > > And that is exactly the problem with making synchronous calls to the > server - it locks the browser.

Hi Mike: Thank you for your answer. I have understand what do you mean between "lock the browser" and "block th UI". To test it I have put a sleep in my server (in the function that calls the synchronous ajax call ) and I have see that in IE7 and IE8, it´s true, but, in FF3, Opera 10, Chrome 2 the browser is not locked. Maybe there is a hack for this? I have written too much code in this way (for me, this is the logic way to make it) and I don´t want to change it if is not really necessary ;-( On 15 sep, 12:38, Mike Alsup wrote: > > I have tested BlockUI Plugin but it does not start when I call it, > > because I can see with Firebub that the ajax calls are finished when > > BlockUI Plugin starts. > > And that is exactly the problem with making synchronous calls to the > server - it locks the browser.

And that is exactly the problem with making synchronous calls to the server - it locks the browser. I strongly recommend using asynchronous calls instead - I wish the XHR didn't even have a sync API because I don't believe it should ever be used. Asynchronous programming is only mildly more abstract that synchronous. Mike
