Description: i coded a quick and dirty key navigation for the calendar.
if you press left arrow on your keyboard, it will navigate to the
previous date and fire an ajax request to grab the content. Vice versa
for right arrow key.
Problem: the problem is when you multi-tap the arrow key a few times
consecutively (4/5 of my testers do that to quickly get to the specific
date they want), the ajax request call cant keep it up. I thought of a
few possible solution but none of them were solid and didn't really do
what i want. Among those is attaching timeout on keyup (that means even
when users are not multi-taping consecutively, they have to wait for,
say 2 seconds before the ajax fires the call.)
I would really appreciate any advise and ideas regarding this.
Thanks in advance.
