Hi John, This surely will be useful. I've been looking for ajax queue functionality for a while but you make it simple :D A study case where the ajax queue will be very useful is if someone is connected to the internet behind proxy which needs authentication. If the proxy requires user to re-authenticate after a certain period of idle time, without ajax request queue, a lot of authentication windows will appear because each request needs its own proxy authentication. With queue approach, only one window will appear and it will wait until user properly authenticates himself. Thanks for the great idea and the great plugin. Regards, Mike
