I have a list of text boxes with a jquery .each() cycling an independent Ajax GET request for each one (they need to be independent and can't all be done at once)

Once a user clicks on a button on the page, this is set to send a different ajax request without reloading the page. The problem I'm having is that clicking this button queues that ajax request until the .each() function has finished - then completes.

Is there a way to run the click() ajax query at the samee time as the each() query is running on document ready to speed up the response of the page?

Maybe a different thread or recurrent function?

Thanks in advance
