Will 2 consecutive .load calls in jquery execute async?

Question

In a script as shown below, will load functions be called asynchronously or one after the other?

 <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function () { $("#TheLink").click(){ $("#PlaceToUpdate1").load("/Controller/Method/View1"); $("#PlaceToUpdat2").load("/Controller/Method/View2"); } }); }); </script> 

Answer 1

Asynchronously, by default. If you need them to be disposable, you can do several things:

• Put the second in the callback of the first.
• Install $.ajax({async:false})
• Perhaps you can even set them up in line.

The cleanest way is probably option 2.

Answer 2

Yes, full call to download:

 load( url, [data], [callback] ) 

the third optional parameter is the callback method, which will be called when the asynchronous loading method is completed.
