the problem loop works , others browser(chrome , firefox) stall , give error (connection reset in firefox)(no data returned in chrome) thought nesting post request might , did still happens time time. happens lot more when send post different page such following ....

$("#makegame").click(function(){     getgame = function() {         $("#scripts").html("getting data...");         $("#onlineusers").html("getting data...");         $("#joingamecontainer").html("getting data...");         $("#gamecontainer").html("getting data...");         //alert("newgame clicked.");         $.post("cardgameclasses.php",                 {                     gamerequest: "makegame",                 },                 function(data, status){                     // code stalls here , dose nothing browser error happens                      //alert("data: " + data + "\nstatus: " + status);                     if(status == "success"){                         $("#scripts").html(data);                     }else{                         $("#scripts").html("failed...");                         settimeout(function(){                             getgame();                         }, 5000);                     }                 });     }     getgame(); 

so thought replacing loop text sending post , did little bit on occasion still browser error connection reset. not sure doing wrong please help.

i figured out going on code php allows many post vars single page prevent denial of service attacks. sending many posts. realized every thing trying update ajax updated single post instead of 4 nested posts. processing of data can done on server side. if making several posts 1 page doing wrong. proper code this:

    function mytimer() {     $.post("lobbyclasses.php",     {         lobbyrequest: "getcontent1",     },     function(data, status){         if(status == "success"){             $("#lobbycontent").html(data);         }else{             $("#lobbycontent").html("failed...");         }     }); } mytimer(); var myvar = setinterval(function(){ mytimer() }, 5000);  function mystopfunction() {     clearinterval(myvar); }
