Well, the way it's programmed now it keeps a queue of 'unfinishedFrames' and pulls from that to get the next frame. So, theoretically, when I finished the ajax-ified version you could just return multiple frames in an ajax call and those would all be added to the queue. I suppose I could also add an option to let you decide at which point to ask the server for more frames, like if there are X number of unfinished frames, it's time to call the server (defaults to 0). I've got some more urgent things to finish up at work, but I should be able to spare a little time over the next few days to wrap this up. Btw, anyone have any idea why SlideDown and SlideUp aren't working for me here? They throw an error deeper down in the prototype code and I haven't backtracked it yet. Were there some bugs fixed in 1.5.1? I think I'm still on 1.5.0.
