Hi, I am using the following code to capture all the AJAX calls being made from my app, in order to show a busy spinner till the call is completed. It works well when the requests are well spaced out. However, when the request are made in quick successions, some of the AJAX calls do not get registered, or the onCreate and onComplete actions get kicked off at the same time, and more often than not, the busy spinner continues to appear on the screen, after all the calls have successfully completed. Is there any check I can perform at the end of the call, to check if the element is visible, I can hide it.

document.observe("dom:loaded", function() {
$('loading').hide(); 
Ajax.Responders.register({
//When an Ajax call is made. 
onCreate: function() {
new Effect.toggle('loading', 'appear');
new Effect.Opacity('display-area', { from: 1.0, to: 0.3, duration: 0.7 });
},

onComplete: function() {
new Effect.toggle('loading', 'appear');
new Effect.Opacity('display-area', { from: 0.3, to: 1, duration: 0.7 });
}
});
});

Thanks!
