jQuery Ajax Request with Javascript alert()

Question

I have a Javascript function in my .html file that uses jQuery.get method in itself. In the callback method 'success' of the AJAX request, there is a javascript alert() call.

  function test_server(test_url) {
    jQuery.get(test_url, function(data) {
      alert("You have received '" + data + "'");
    });
  }

As long as I did not click 'OK' in the alert box, the request seems to be not finished in my Firebug console.

Is the request-response cycle really not finished or does the process of the server that has sent the response hang up until the user clicks 'OK'?

PS: I am using Firefox 11.0 and Firebug 1.9.1

Answer 1

I think that's a sort of a bug of Firebug because the request has to be finished at this point.

(In Chrome it doesn't happen)
