i make an ajax request to a php file that runs a while loop that looks for new data in the database, but i cant give it new data because the browser is blocked while waiting for the new data.
does anyone know how to not block the browser?

Sounds like you didn’t actually make an Asynchronous-JAX request, but rather a synchronous one.
If you’re using a Javascript library, most of them have a boolean flag for whether or not the request should be asynchronous – make sure you’re not choosing synchronous by accident.
