Like you I pulled my hair out for a while on this one. Almost swapped away from CI because of it. Every fix I found lowered security in other respects. Then a wild CI3 appeared and it was super effective.

Code:

$.ajaxSetup({
     async: false
});

You do NOT want to do this. Synchronous AJAX calls should be avoided at all costs. Setting it globally is a very bad idea. While a synchronous call is running it locks your browser and users cannot interact with the page.[/quote]

Yup, bad idea... but better than users shouting at you every 5 minutes cause they have to login again ;-)

Will checkout CI 3 on next project
