ajaxComplete incomplete documentation

[Marc-André Lafortune <jquery@…>]

The documentation for ajaxComplete explains the argument will be called whenever an ajax request completes. At the end, there's a single caveat that states "If $.ajax() or $.ajaxSetup() is called with the global option set to false, the .ajaxComplete() method will not fire".

This caveat is incomplete. Indeed, if $.ajaxSetup is never called and $.ajax is called without a 'global' option but with a cross-browser request, then $.ajax will set the global option and the ajaxComplete argument will not be called.

Same can probably be said for the other global ajax events.

Please complete the doc and save others for wasting quite a bit of time figuring this out.

Thanks
