I want to set a JS function running, but not wait for the response. The only way I can think to do it is:
setTimeout(function() {
myFunc();
},0);
But that seems… inefficient at best. Any ideas?
Why is that inefficient?
Also, don’t forget that browser javascript is single-threaded. So, while your function runs, you will implicitly wait for it to return.
(async ajax calls may be an exception here)
