non-blocking ajax requests

Hello group!

I have a problem using multiple ajax updaters on one page. The first one is a slow one; it a form_remote_tag and it calls a method that takes about 5 seconds to process. The second one is faster, it's a periodical updater that polls and updates a div every second. The problem is that as soon as i click on the 'slow' submitbutton, my fast periodical updater stops updating during the request (~5 sec).

My question is, is there a way to make a request non-blocking, so that other ajaxrequests can still be processed?

thanks!

Martijn

hey, tnx!

especially the notice that webrick only supports one request clears up a lot
