Your question makes no sense to me. Are you saying you want the browser to do everything it normally does when you load a new page (ie Safari, the address field starts filling up with a blue status bar, other browser have a spinner somewhere in the interface.)
If so, no, there's no direct way to do that. I guess onRequest you could create an iframe and point it to some page on your server that has a ridiculously long sleep time so the browser is always trying to load it, then onSuccess of the ajax request you could destroy the iframe. I don't kow ... seems silly. If you're reloading the whole page with ajax, and want it to feel like it's not ajax, why not just reload the whole page?
