Hi All,<br />
<br />
The following code works good in Firefox, and displays the &quot;Loading&quot; image till there's a response. But the same does not show the &quot;Loading&quot; image in other browsers (IE, Safari).<br />
<br />
I found somewhere that having both<br />
<br />
async: false<br />
<br />
and<br />
<br />
beforeSend <br />
<br />
doesn't go hand-in-hand. According to <a href="http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/#options" rel="ugc">http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/#options</a>&nbsp;: Note that synchronous requests may temporarily lock the browser, disabling any actions while the request is active.<br />
<br />
Is there any workaround? Please advise.<br />

Hi All,

The following code works good in Firefox, and displays the "Loading" image till there's a response. But the same does not show the "Loading" image in other browsers (IE, Safari).

I found somewhere that having both

async: false

and

beforeSend 

doesn't go hand-in-hand. According to http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.ajax/#options : Note that synchronous requests may temporarily lock the browser, disabling any actions while the request is active.

Is there any workaround? Please advise.

jQuery: &quot;async: false&quot; with &quot;beforeSend&quot;

jQuery (Core) is a cross-browser JavaScript library that provides abstractions for common client-side tasks such as Document Object Model (DOM) traversal, DOM manipulation, event handling, animation and Ajax. jQuery also provides a platform to create plugins that extend jQuery's capabilities beyond those already provided by the library.

jQuery

JavaScript is a dynamic, object-based language commonly used for client-side scripting in web browsers. Recently, server side JavaScript frameworks have also emerged. JavaScript runs on nearly every operating system and  in almost every mainstream web browser.

JavaScript

Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX) is a group of interrelated Web development techniques used on the client-side to create asynchronous Web applications. With AJAX, web applications can send data to and retrieve from a server asynchronously (in the background) without interfering with the display and behavior of the existing page. HTML and CSS can be used in combination to mark up and style information. The Document Object Model (DOM) is accessed with JavaScript to dynamically display and allow interaction with the information presented.
