jQuery Ajax Prefilter Demo

The purpose of the prefilter is to provide a way to delay the execution of the success callback of an ajax call. Sometimes it is good to delay the call in order to show a message while the ajax call is loading.

$("#threshold-ajax-call").click(function() {
	$.ajax({
		url: "http://www.thetimbanks.com/demos/jquery/successThreshold/ajaxfile.html",
		type: "GET",
		beforeSend: function() {
			$("#ajax-loading-message").show();
		},
		successThreshold: 3000,
		success: function(){
			$("#ajax-loading-message").hide();
		}
	});
	return false;
});
