Thx for UR reply,

My homepage look like igoogle hompage. Its contains 10 components. when page rendering, I made 10 ajax request each request for separate componends. Its blocking for display (User feels its very slow in this services). can I use settimeout function for Each request, if any drawback in this model using settimeout or any other model is there ? give UR feedback.

Move the JavaScript call to the bottom of the page. That way the rest of the page loads first and the JavaScript will load last (for those people with JavaScript enabled). It will then look like the page has loaded without having to wait for the JavaScript.
