Also, consider that your image might be taking a while to load. Consider preloading the image.

What I normally do is something like: $("#meter").attr("src","img/meter_on.gif") // change the src tag to the animate gif $.ajax({ url: 'myurl', success : function(){//do processing}, error: function(){/process error}, complete : function(){$("#meter").attr("src","img/meter_off.gif")} // this gets called after success and error callbacks are executed }); Let me know if that makes sense?

I want to change an image to an animated gif to indicate progress while I pull down some files via synchronous ajax, and then switch the image back to a static one when finished. Everything I try fails, invariably the animated gif doesn't become visible until all the ajax loads complete, and then of course it gone. HEre the basic code I have at them moment: $("#meter").attr("src","img/meter_on.gif").show('fast', function() { load_stuff_with_ajax(); $("#meter").attr("src","img/meter_off.gif").show(); }); Any help will is greatly appreciated. I can;t tell you how sick I am of reading tutorials saying how easy AJAX is when the simple things like seem impossible to figure out.
