There is no reason for you to trigger ajaxStart, it is done for you
automatically when you use any of the ajax functions. Here's a page
that demonstrates how the global ajax events work:

Mike,
I was actually trying to understand your jQuery Form Plugin, where you
use an iframe for file uploads. You call
$.event.trigger("ajaxStart"), and this is what I wanted to do. I was
creating a small site specific script that can use ajax or an iframe
to submit a form, but I wanted to use the same ajax events for each,
similar to how you did in your plugin. I would also be interested in
just learning how your method works.
Thanks!

Mike, any help on this?
