Synchronous Request in Ajax means javascript will stop processing your program until a result has been obtained from the server. While the request is processing, the browser is effectively frozen. The browser treats the call like an alert box or a prompt box only it doesn't wait for input from the user, but on input by the remote server. 99.99% of the time the response is quick and fast enough so that there isn't any problems.
