Okay, I'm putting together a user registration form using PHP, javascript and ajax.

The username and image-text verification string are checked by calling a php script with ajax. The problem is it takes about 1-2 seconds for the response and I can't seem to make the script wait for the response before moving on. This ultimately causes the form validation function to return a false result.

I was able to setup a while() loop to loop continually until a flag is set at the end of the processResponse function of the AJAX request, but this loop delays the ajax response even more and triggers a javascript warning in firefox.

The best way I can think of solving this is to submit the form from within javascript when a response is received through AJAX, and I've tried it. Apparently "document.myform.submit()" is no-longer a valid function? There must be another way to submit forms via javascript besides the "onsubmit" handler?
