A quick look at the 1.6.0.3 release (line #1439) suggests that your responder can access the target container via the request parameter passed to your responder, specifically request.container.success (the container that will be updated on success) and request.container.failure (the one that will be updated on failure). As this is undocumented (AFAIK), it may change from release to release... HTH, -- T.J.

Thanks in advance Alex 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!
