Why does $.getJSON() block the browser?

Question

I have a page where I list hardware devices we monitor for customers. Each row displayed also shows the status of the device i.e. whether it\'s running, paused, starting up etc.

Answer 1

I imagine you're running into browser limitations for handling multiple requests.

Have you tried using Fiddler and looking at the timeline to see what is blocking?

This SO question will probably help:

How many concurrent AJAX (XmlHttpRequest) requests are allowed in popular browsers?
