.ajaxStop not firing on IE8 -> jquery 1.4.2

[lukemacneil]

After upgrading from jq 1.4.1 to 1.4.2 I noticed my loader stopped hiding after ajax requests, but only in IE8.

$(document).ajaxStart(function() {

$('#loading').toggle();

}).ajaxStop(function() {

$('#loading').toggle();

});

This works in FF 3.6.3, and .ajaxStart fires in IE8, but the div is never hidden upon completion.

I can't find any errors or warnings that point to the reason why.

I am not sure why the problem is occurring but that is not the recommended way to use .ajaxStart/Stop. Instead try this:

$("#loading")

.ajaxStart(function(){ $(this).show(); } .ajaxStop (function(){ $(this).hide(); }
