Mike.. I don't think that it's correct to say that it's "never a good idea" to lock the entire browser. One of the benefits of AJAX is that the browser allows you to code an application in the browser which behaves more like a traditional app.
And there are plenty of times when the user would expect to wait before moving forward: saving your work, adding an image to something, etc. So I think this plugin is a great idea. Great job. <!----------------//------ andy matthews web developer certified advanced coldfusion programmer ICGLink, Inc.
