<body>Hello all,<BR>
 <BR>
I'm fairly new to jQuery having used Prototype & Scriptaculous (sparingly!) in the past.  My problem is thus:<BR>
 <BR>
I have a form with 3 <select>'s all of which trigger $.ajax calls when the selection changes.  This in itself works fine.  To give the user a visual cue I added a 'loading' graphic, and then added the fairly standard (as far as I can see) ajaxStart and ajaxStop show/hides.  On the first ajax call the graphic shows and hides as I'd expect, however on subsequent calls the graphic flashes away for longer periods of time.<BR>
 <BR>
Does anyone have an idea why this is?  I was guessing that perhaps it's queueing up the start/stop functions and executing them causing the flashing but I'm probably wrong there.<BR>
 <BR>
I guess another question is when does jQuery consider an $.ajax call stopped?<BR>
 <BR>
Regards,<BR>
