How to change $.ajax() default settings?
<p>How can I modify the default values of options for the <a href="http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/"><code>$.ajax()</code></a> function?</p>

<p>Ideally to do something similar to:  </p>

<pre><code>//set ajax async to false
$(someSelector).load(url, data, function(){});
//set ajax async to true
</code></pre>

<p>to allow me to carry out <code>.post()</code> synchronously.</p>
