[jQuery] update several divs within a .each() loop

[Daniel]

Hi everybody!

I want to update the contents of several divs periodically with the
response i get from a php-script. the number of divs is changing
depending on what the user has chosen before. i store the variable
part of the ids in a hidden input field. this input field may look
like this:

<input type="hidden" name="devices" value="1,2,3,4,5,6,7">

to do this task periodically i use setIntervall():

<script type="text/javascript">
        // dies stellt sicher, dass updateDivs() erst ausgeführt wird, wenn
die ganze seite geladen wurde
        $(document).ready(function() {
            updateDivs();
            // wenn die seite komplett geladen ist, soll die progress-
bar verschwinden
            $("#hide_me").hide();
        });
        setInterval("updateDivs()", 5000);
</script>

and the Code of the updateDivs() function:

<code>
function updateDivs()
{
    $($("[name=devices]").val().split(","))
    .each(function(){
        var handler_url = 'devices_handler.php';
        var devID = this;

        var randomNumber = Math.random();

        // DATEN-Abfrage mit ajax-queue
        var monValues = $("#mon_" + devID).val();
        var getValuesParams = {
            "do":"1",
            "de":devID,
            "mo":monValues,
            "rand":randomNumber
        }

        $.ajax({
            type: "GET",
            cache: false,
            url: handler_url,
            data: getValuesParams,
            async: false,
            success: function(response){
                //alert(response);
                $("#dev_" + devID).html(response);
            }
        });
    });
}
</code>


Now the Problem:
The only browser who behaves as expected is Firefox 3.x - he flushes
the response after every ajax-request to the corresponding div ( .html
(response) ). All the other browsers are not updating the contents of
the divs until all the responses are available (although i execute the
request with async=false), and then they update all the divs (ids
dev_1 to dev_7) at the same time... but for me it would be necessary
that the other browsers behave like Firefox 3.

Does anyone have an idea? I would really appreciate it :-)

Thanks!
Daniel
