[wp-hackers] AJAX and responsiveness

[Alex King]

There is an issue with this that I've run into. If the action fails,  
you need a mechanism to put the item *back* and alert the user that  
it failed. A queue can work well, but remember that any queued  
actions will not fire if the user leaves the page.

Cheers,
