This is what I used to do:
1. In the click function handler, put the loading text and image to the
status placeholder.
$('#status_div').html('<img src="loading.gif" /> Loading ...');
2. Call the ajax
3. In the ajax callbak function, I update the status placeholder with
the ajax response message
$.post(url
,{param: "value"}
,function(r){
$('#status_div').html(r.message);
}
, "json");
The complete code will be like this:
$(trigger).click(function(){
$('#status_div').html('<img src="loading.gif" /> Loading ...');
$.post(url
,{param: "value"}
,function(r){
$('#status_div').html(r.message);
}
, "json");
});
You can adjust this according to your need. This is what I like to do in
my code (and my client so far happy with it) :)
