Inside your setTimeout callback function, "this" is not what you expect. Add "var element = this;" before the setTimeout, and then use "$(element)" instead of "$(this)" inside the function. Also, it looks like you have a race condition. What happens if the entire AJAX request completes in less than 100 milliseconds? I posted some untested code that should fix both of these: http://www.pastebin.ca/678388 > On a related note, what would be really great is a delay option for > $.ajaxStart() itself.
