Question

Right now I use:

$("#status")
    .on("ajaxSend", function() { $(this).show(); } )
    .on("ajaxComplete", function() { $(this).hide(); } );

To get a status when ajax was working. This worked with json, but not with jsonp. Is there a way to get this to work with jsonp? Thank you.

This appears to be a bug in jQuery, or at least consideration for a bug.

Unfortunately you can’t do anything about it at this point except update your jsonp requests to use the same things on beforeSend and complete:

function ajaxSend() { $("#status").show(); }
function ajaxComplete() { $("#status").hide(); }

$.ajaxSend(ajaxSend);
$.ajax({
   dataType: 'jsonp',
   beforeSend: ajaxSend,
   complete: ajaxComplete
});
