I'll bet your document has six DOM elements (HTML tags) in it, right? The
$('*') selector is selecting *all* of those elements, and the ajaxSend
callback is getting called for each one.
Try something like $('body').ajaxSend(...) if you want just a single
callback.
I never noticed it before - I haven't used these ajax event notifications
functions - but this seems like a strange design. They are really global
notifications; it's hard to imagine why they should be attached to
individual DOM elements. Take the example for ajaxStart from the docs:
$("#loading").ajaxStart(function(){
$(this).show();
});
At least to my way of thinking, this would have made more sense as a global
jQuery function:
$.ajaxStart(function(){
$("#loading").show();
});
Ah well, it's water under the bridge now...
