Whoa there. Synchronous AJAX calls? You're locking up the browser when you do that. What if your server is slow to respond? If it's just a coding convenience, don't do it! -Mike
_____ From: Jimmy Glass By default, I have set all AJAX requests to syncronous as I like to have the .getJSON functions inline. However, occasionally... I need to send a .getJSON request asynchronously. I understand that this is a wrapper function for the .ajax method. Two solutions that came to mind... Use the ajax function, or set my global ajax settings to asynchronous prior to the request and reset it to synchronous after the request. Neither sounds very pretty. :-) Can I send the AJAX options to .getJSON?
