Do applet javascript calls serialize in any proper way? I'm considering implementing a model in which two threads send off javascript commands.

I serve a web page which makes the client do quite a lot of Javascript work as soon as it hits. The amount of work is proportional to the amount of content, which varies a lot.

Hi All, We've got an ajax request that takes approx. 30 seconds and then sends the user to a different page. During that time, we of course show an ajaxy spinner indicator, but the browser can also "appear" stuck because the browser client isn't actually working or showing it's own loading message.
