Page unresponsive when rivescript hits an API that takes some time to respond

[hark444]

While I'm hitting an API through RiveScript in JavaScript, chrome shows page unresponsive. I have to make the page wait.
Is there a way through which I can send a response like "please wait while we are getting the response", or maybe let the user chat something else till RiveScript gets the response?

What does your code look like? Using normal asynchronous ajax requests or things should work fine. (If you're using a blocking network call, that would block your scripts, but most people don't do that). RiveScript should be able to handle a second reply from a user while waiting on an ajax call for the first user (as long as your custom application code allows for that, anyway -- i.e. if you grey out the "send message" button you'd be limiting it to only one request at a time in the web browser).
