Hi, in the $.ajax() function there is an option (async) which is boolean and is true by default, you have to set it false.
"async Boolean Default: true By default, all requests are sent asynchronous (e.g. this is set to true by default). If you need synchronous requests, set this option to false. Note that synchronous requests may temporarily lock the browser, disabling any actions while the request is active." http://docs.jquery.com/Ajax/jQuery.ajax#options byeee PS: actually I'm newbie, not sure if what I said will work... ;-) On Apr 9, 10:10 pm, steve_f <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Has anybody implemented a synchronous ajax call with a timeout.
