When I use Ajax call(jquery) in the HEAD section I find a waiting for

  • 0

When I use Ajax call(jquery) in the HEAD section I find a “waiting for response message” on a chrome browser with revolving circle. I don’t want this ugly look. Is there a way to avoiding this?

PS: When I use input tag to call the JavaScript(Ajax call) function like 

<input id="launcher" type="button" onfocus="go()" value="Go!"></input>

I couldn’t see a waiting circle. Cause my program should call the function automatically I couldn’t use this method.(If I use document.getElementById("launcher").focus() to automatically start the function, It showed waiting circle again.) I guess there’s a some different context to call JavaScript function.

Update Here is my sample code

<HEAD>
<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
function go() {
    $.ajax({
        url: "/myService",
        success: function(data){
            document.getElementById("result_area").innerHTML = data;
            go();
        }
    });
}
$(document).ready(function(){
    go() //Here I want to Comet call;
});
go(); //should start automatically.
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
    <!-- <input id="launcher" type="button" onfocus="go()" value="Go!"></input>
    This doesn't show the waiting circle. Why? Use different call context? -->        
<div id="result_area"></div>
</BODY>

    I found that this waiting circle on XMLHttpRequest is depend on a browser implementation. On IE7, Firefox4 it didn’t show any waiting circle or bar while chrome11, Windows safari had one.

    I believe that standard on this should be made cause it impacts greatly on user experience.
