Does PHP flush work with jQuerys ajax?

Question

I have created a page in which I use the PHP function flush(), to output data to the browser the second the data is echoed. I\'m also calling this page using jQuery\'s ajax

Answer 1

Here you have 2 plugins for streaming:

JQUERY AJAX HTTP STREAM and JSTREAMPLUG.

"This plugin allows for a constant connection with a server keeping content continuously updated with the latest content using one http request. It extends the $.ajax, $.get, and $.post functions to allow for streaming."

Answer 2

jQuery needs to wait for the connection to close before it can insert the html onto the page -- it can't display it progressively (it wouldn't make any sense).
