Description

In my main .js file i have this line (I use it to show loading image at beginning of ajax request and hide it when it finishes).

$.ajaxSetup({dataType:'json', beforeSend:function() { loading.show(); }, complete:function() { loading.hide(); }})

It works fine with $.post(), $.get()... but when using $().load() it will only show loading, it won't hide it. I tried to put alert() instead of loading functions, only one alert is shown.

The

jQuery.load

method calls

jQuery.ajax

with its own complete handler, which overrides the one that would have come in through

jQuery.ajaxSettings

. However, if you were to have used the success handler then

load

would work and the others would fail.

Instead of using

jQuery.ajaxSettings

to set handlers, you should be using the ajax global events such as ajaxComplete. I've edited the docs to make this a bit clearer.
