Question

I am using .net MVC 3. I have an AJAX call to save questionaire answers, and I need some image indicator similar to loading icon to show users it was saved.

 <input id="SaveAccount"
        type="button"
        onclick="saveQuestioniare();"
        value=""
        alt="save account" title="save account" />

My AJAX call:

 function saveQuestioniare() {
           var formData = $("#SignupForm").serializeArray();
           $.ajax({
            url: '/Question/SaveQuestionaire?id=@ViewData["reviewId"]',
            type: 'POST',
            cache: false,
            dataType: 'json',
            data: formData,
                error: function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
                    alert(errorThrown);
                },
            success: function (json) {
                alert("Saved");
            }
        });
    }

Answer 1

do not use additional plugins you can do it easly by css and js 10 line of code instead of 300/400 and more

first style your image to be where you want to be, for example:

<img src="...path to img" id="myimg" alt=""/>

#myimg{
margin:0;
position:relative;
top:20%;
bottom:20%;
left:0;
right:0;
display:none;
}

then in js do

$.ajax({ ....
beforeSend:function(){
$('#myimg').show();
},
success:function(){
$("#myimg").hide();
}
...});
