Question

I am using ajax call in my classic asp application to execute a stored procedure.
But I don’t want to wait until the stored procedure is running (Stored procedure taking approx 5-10 minutes to complete.).
The Ajax have to invoke the stored procedure and need to come back immediately.
I want Ajax call should not wait for response.

Here is my code snippet:

1)  $.ajax({  
  type: "POST",  
  url: "runstoredprocedure.asp",  
});    
2)  setInterval(function(){  jQuery("#list").trigger("reloadGrid"); },10000);  

These are the two ajax calls I am using. the first one is running approxmately 5-7 min. Second one is not firing until first one completes. But immediately i need to call the second ajax call.

Can anyone help me on this issue.

AJAX is by default asynchronous ( and it’s the default option in all the javascript libraries ). For example, in jQuery:

$.ajax({
  url: url,
  data: data,
  success: success,
  dataType: dataType
});

You have a success, which takes a callback. When your action will finish, the callback will be called. jQuery will return immediately.
