"The script is a very dumbed down version of what I'm working on"
Before you get into any complicated script, you need to grasp the
concept of "Asynchronous"
You main mistake is thinking that the loop is going to "wait" when you
make the $.ajax call... *it doesn't*...
I don't have the time right now to find a good article/blog post to
walk you through it, but maybe someone else does
