I definitely mean the div & the image. Because divitus is a really
terrible problem with modern sites as well, so every div you can remove
you should try to get rid of ; ).
but I'm curious as
to how many sites that have taken the full CSS plunge are accommodating
for this.
Not a lot. I am a fanatic about turning of CSS on sites I visit (Ctrl +
Shift + S if you use firefox' web developer extension) and most of the
stuff that calls itself "web 2.0" is terrible when it comes to
accessibility. However, for my own projects I try really hard to keep
everything as semantic & accessible as possible.

LOL. Thanks Felix. What I was trying to determine in my last reply was
if you were referring to both the DIV & the image or simply the
image in terms of dynamic inclusion.
>From what I've seen, JQuery has great methods for inclusion of
elements
so either situation seems relatively easy to handle but I'm curious as
to how many sites that have taken the full CSS plunge are accommodating
for this.

However if there are parts of your application were accessibility is
not much of a concern like the back end, I think it's excusable to go
for the quick & dirty way ; ).

Thanks for the heads up Felix. I really understand your point.
Would it make sense then to drop in a div into the html layout and then
dynamically add the the image as needed or do you suggest doing both on
the fly?

One thing I really hate about AJAX, is that everybody put's those
semantically meaningless activity indicators in their html layout. When
you disable css you end up with a mess of animated gif's which is
really annoying. I don't blame you, but it's a very nice move towards
accessibility and usability to add those div's/images/etc. with
_javascript_ to your DOM instead of having them there already and just
hiding them with CSS.

Man, that is REALLY powerful John. I added a .hide() method like this:
$("#throbber").hide()
.ajaxStart(function(){
$(this).show();
})
.ajaxStop(function(){
$(this).hide();
});
and then added my div like this:
<div id="throbber"><img src="" width="16"
height="16" alt="" border="0" /></div>
and it worked like a charm!
Thanks for your help and patience John.

jQuery's system is more dynamic than just hiding/showing a single
element, as you can see. Let me know if this helps you at all.

I've seen some Ajax libraries that have an Ajax throbber/indicator
function built in which allows you to specify an indicator during the
Ajax call.
Does JQuery have something like this? If not, whats everyone doing to
display one? Any plugins for this?
