Hrm...not a bad idea. I'll look into that. _____

That would make the request quite few and still make the initial page load fast. //Kristinn On 4/6/07, Andy Matthews <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Dan... The catch is that I'm not loading "all" of the info at once. It's technically still an on demand process. The user is initiating it by opening an accordion section. There's quite a lot of code coming back and the whole enchilada might take longer than we would like. So I think this is a good middle ground. It's more proof of concept anyway but I'm interested to see how it might work. _____ From: jquery-en@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dan G.

Andy, If you want all the information to just be there, then include it in the original HTML and just hide it. The core benefit you gain by loading content "on demand" is you only send the data that's necessary. If you ended up doing a bunch of AJAX calls to load all the data, all you've done is made the code harder to manage and inundated your server with a bunch of requests instead of one single request (remember, each AJAX call is a separate HTTP request-depending on your page and the number of users you could really flood your server w/requests.) Also, there is no way to "stop" a request once it's started. Once you initiate the HTTP request, the server will start processing it. You can stop listening for the result you get back from the server, but the server is still going to attempt to complete the request. -Dan _____ From: jquery-en@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Andy Matthews Sent: Friday, April 06, 2007 9:56 AM To: jquery-en@googlegroups.com Subject: [jQuery] Stop pending AJAX processes? First a small walk-through of what I've got now: http://www.commadelimited.com/uploads/psychic <http://www.commadelimited.com/uploads/psychic> Right now, if you click any of the black images, it triggers an AJAX call which places it's response in a hidden div. That's easy enough and already works. In an effort to make this work as speedily as possible, I'd like to do following: 1) When ANY "session" first opens, every row that has more data (indicated by the black image which has a class of "nav") should make it's associated AJAX call and return it's information. I would like this to happen with no action from the user. 2) If the user switches to a new accordion section, ideally I'd like to cancel all pending AJAX calls, then trigger new calls for the current accordion section. So, that's my question...is this possible, and if so, how would I do it? The thought is that the user will spend at least a few seconds looking at the basic interface before clicking into any of the details. It would be awesome if, when the user clicks any details image, that the data was already there and the details would just slide open. Anyone have any ideas how to accomplish this, if it's even possible? ____________________________________ Andy Matthews Senior Coldfusion Developer Office: 877.707.5467 x747 Direct: 615.627.9747 Fax: 615.467.6249 [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.dealerskins.com <http://www.dealerskins.com/>
