Hi All- I recently ran into a situation similar to the one shown in this screencast: http://www.phppatterns.com/stuff/latency.html
The short version: Rapidly dispatched Asynchronous Javascript requests don't always return to the client in the same order they were sent, introducing odd behavior. In my experience, 99.9% of the time, this is not an issue. However, that 0.1% is killing me. I wanted to start some discussion about whether this might be addressed within jQuery, how to address it, should it be a plugin, etc. I'd be happy to write one.
