One way to do this is to use global events of jquery ajax, as below
$("#ajaxLoading").bind("ajaxSend", function(){
$(this).show();
}).bind("ajaxComplete", function(){
$(this).hide();
});
pls note this will show a loading message for all jquery ajax
operations from your page, if you want to restrict only to a specific
operaton you can bind this to current ajax call.
---------------------------
<div id='ajaxLoading'>Loading..</div>
---------------------------
#ajaxLoading{
position: absolute;
top:2px;
left:95%;
padding:5px;
background-color: #CC0000;
color:white;
}
