Would 2 consecutive .load calls in jquery execute async?

javascript, jquery

Solution

Asynchronously, by default. If you need them to be one-after-the-other, you can do a few things:

- Place the second in the callback of the first.

- Set `$.ajax({async:false})`

- You could possibly even set these up in a queue.

The cleanest way is probably option 2.

Problem

In a script like the following, would the `load` functions be called in asynchronously or one after another? ``` <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function () { $("#TheLink").click(){ $("#PlaceToUpdate1").load("/Controller/Method/View1"); $("#PlaceToUpdat2").load("/Controller/Method/View2"); } }); }); </script> ```
