I use the Ajax.Responders (http://api.prototypejs.org/ajax/Ajax/Responders/) to allow me to handle the creation and completion of all AJAX requests. In my requests, I fade in a little spinner image after 0.25s. It fades out on completion. So, if the request is handled in handled in under 0.25s, then no spinner. This seems to work quite well for me. -- Richard Quadling Twitter : EE : Zend : PHPDoc @RQuadling : e-e.com/M_248814.html : bit.ly/9O8vFY : bit.ly/lFnVea -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prototype & script.aculo.us" group.
