title: Throttle AJAX Request On KeyUp and Paste Events
body: <p>So I am calling an AJAX request on every <code>keyup</code> and <code>paste</code> event in jQuery on a textbox:</p>
  
  <pre><code> $("#server-label").bind("keyup paste", function() {
       $.ajax()...
   });
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The problem is this is just too many AJAX requests if the user rapidly presses keys. What is the best way to sort of wait until the users stops typing for a bit (say 500ms) before calling the AJAX request. Basically don't make the AJAX request until no keys or paste events fired for 500ms.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
