Hello Akaballa
Well as long as I understand prototype ajax request you need to add
"asynchronous: false, " in you ajax request definition.
So try like this:
new Ajax.Request('some url',
{
asynchronous: false,
method:'post',
parameters: {searchString: searchQuery},
onSuccess: function(transport)
{
var str = transport.responseText || "no response text";
$('searchResponse').update(str);
},
onFailure: function()
{
alert('Unable to retrieve requested data. Please try again.');
}
});
Let me know if it still creates problem for you.
