My solution was to use responders. As part of the response object, I add a spinner property and a form property. In the responder, if these were present, then I processed them accordingly (onCreate : spinner on , form elements disabled and onComplete/onException/onError the settings are reversed). It works for me, but does require 2 optional additional properties to the AJAX request. -- ----- Richard Quadling "Standing on the shoulders of some very clever giants!"
