delay on ajax post
delay on ajax post
Hi,
I'm desperately trying to finish a form validation script. I built a script to check whether or not a username is picked (the rest of the functions have been removed). This part works perfectly except only one out of every 30 or so submits actually throws the alert. I use Bluehost and I'm not sure if the server is just really slow to respond or my code is written poorly. I'd really love some feedback. Thanks.
