Firefox displays "waiting for" in status bar when polling is occurring #25

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use Firefox 3.6.
2. Run $.jsonp() against a script that takes some time to complete.
3. Observe "Waiting for.." in the status bar.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The status bar to remain at "Done". It displays "Waiting for" <site>.

I understand this may be a limitation of Firefox and using a script tag. Is 
there any workaround? Could using async or similar help?

I just noticed you're using "async" already (line 233 of 2.1.2), sorry. Any 
other ideas?

Several questions:
- Does the script take some time to load OR to complete (ie execute) once 
loaded?
- Are you certain $.jsonp is the problem? Isn't there some kind of other 
resource being downloaded in parallel to the request?

If it actually is $.jsonp then I'm afraid there is very little I can do to 
prevent FF 3.6 from acting like it does seeing I took every step I knew of to 
prevent this behaviour.

Hi, thanks for the quick response.

I'm using it for long polling, the "waiting for" appears while it is connected 
to the server waiting for data to push. The script completes within a few ms of 
data being pushed; it's just a JSON payload that is usually a NOOP.

I'm quite confused seeing as http://jsguy.com/?p=103 seemed to report this was 
solved in jQuery-JSONP 2.x. If FF 3.6 has issues with long loading script tags, 
I'm afraid there's nothing I can do here.

No further feedback. So I'm guessing that:
1) There was a problem elsewhere
2) OR this is a firefox glitch

Closing for now

I've always had the exact same issue as the poster. I originally was using 
long-polling too but even when I disable long polling and run the request 
instantly, Firefox still says it for a split second. This is on the latest 
version of everything.

I should also add that Opera continuously spins loading as well. It's not just 
firefox.
