I have to execute a php script on my server to tag a message as deleted but when I do more then one or two at a time it skips them. Here is an example:


function Delete(chk)
{
  for (i = 0; i < chk.length; i++)
  {
    if( chk.checked )
    {
      $.post( 'delete_message.php', { message: ID_Array } );
    }
  }
  window.location.reload()
}

Is there anyway to make the server process every request without skipping any?

Want an easy to use open source 3D video game SDK that handles Physics, Graphics, Audio, and AI right out of the box?

You'll need to do only one post() function in the loop, passing a callback function which then does the next post() and passes a callback, etc.

What would be much cleaner and faster and easier, though, would just be to have delete_message.php support deleting multiple IDs at a go.
