On a live web site, I'm experiencing a small number of cases where Ajax.Updater requests are not completing, leaving the user with an animated "loading" icon. On investigation, it appears that this _may_ be related to firewall configurations and in other cases "ad blocker" applications.
We can't control the customer's environment, so we already degrade gracefully where the user's browser has javascript disabled, however I am trying to work out how to "degrade" back to simpler UI functionality where ajax requests using protocol fail to complete. My first idea is to re-code so that there is a timeout of say 15 seconds, then tell the user that the request is taking a long time and suggest that they switch to a basic UI & save that preference in a session cookie. The code is all modular, so I can essentially drop the user back into the same UI as if they had javascript disabled. What do you think - is there a more elegant way of doing this or? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prototype & script.aculo.us" group.
