Hi.

For my CMS, i want a statusbar that goes through the following stages:

1) Getting <url>

2) Processing <url>

3) Processed <url>

I want to achieve this by setting some global handlers for ajax events. I have tried using the global events, but they never got fired.

So at document-ready, i do this:

jQuery.ajaxSetup ({

type : "GET",

dataType : "html",

beforeSend : function (xhr) {

if (mb.desktop.isAnAjaxActivityToReport(this)) {

mb.reportToEndUser("Getting " + this.url, true);

};

if (typeof jsDump!='undefined') mb.reportToDebugger ('jQuery.ajax: about to send:\\n'+jsDump.parse(this.dataPosted));

},

success : function (data, ts){

if (mb.desktop.isAnAjaxActivityToReport(this)) {

mb.reportToEndUser("Processing " + this.url, true);

};

},

complete : function (xhr, ts) {

if (mb.desktop.isAnAjaxActivityToReport(this)) {

mb.reportToEndUser("Processed " + this.url, false);

};

}

});

But this wont work because local callbacks in jQuery.ajax() overrides any global callbacks with the same name made by jQuery.ajaxSetup()

I think it's also wise to fire global handlers Before local handlers. The global handler updates the status-bar, and the local handler does the actual work.

So I need the global handler to fire Before the local handler.

The simple solution is to change jquery-1.2.3.source.js around line 2781 to this:

function success(){

Fire the global callback

if (jQuery.ajaxSettings.success)

jQuery.ajaxSettings.success.call (s, data, status);

If a local callback was specified, fire it and pass it the data

if ( s.success )

s.success( data, status );

Fire the global callback

if ( s.global )

jQuery.event.trigger( "ajaxSuccess", [xml, s] );

}

function complete(){

Fire the global callback

if (jQuery.ajaxSettings.complete)

jQuery.ajaxSettings.complete.call (s, xml, status);

Process result

if ( s.complete )

s.complete(xml, status);

The request was completed

if ( s.global )

jQuery.event.trigger( "ajaxComplete", [xml, s] );

// Handle the global AJAX counter

if ( s.global && ! --jQuery.active )

jQuery.event.trigger( "ajaxStop" );

}

I'd like to know if i'm on the right track here, and hope this solution can be incorporated in future jquery releases.
