That was a long thread which I didn't read fully. But what I did read made
me think that maybe the original problem was that you needed a slight delay
between when you showed the span and when you made the ajax call. I do that
by putting the ajax call in a setTimeout function. If I don't, the screen
doesn't update until the ajax call is completed.
