New UJS helpers do not have a way to render a "loading..." text / icon
Reported by Victor Costan | April 27th, 2010 @ 08:34 AM
I am migrating an application from Rails 2.3 to Rails 3, and I looked through the code in actionpack/lib/action_view/helpers/ and I couldn't find a way to display an indicator that an AJAX request is in progress. I like link_to :remote => true and I can probably live without a failure indicator, but I'd really like a "request in progress" indicator.
I am opening a ticket without doing any work because I think API decisions need to be made before writing failing tests.
Thank you!

How about allowing :remote to take a Hash of options instead of true? The option :indicator (rendered as a data-indicator-name attribute) would be a name that would match the data-indicator attribute of one or many elements inside the form. The elements' style would be set to "visibility: hidden;" at rendering time, then to "visibility: visible;" before the AJAX request, and back to "visibility: hidden;" after the completion of the AJAX request.

- Tag changed from rails3, ujs to invalid, rails3, ujs
This can easily be accomplished each driver has a custom callback that fires before the request is sent, here is an example using the jQuery driver.
$('#new_resource').live('ajax:loading', function() { // code to display loading div });
you could also do this globally by using
$.ajaxSetup({ beforeSend: function() { // code to display loading div } });
ticket should be marked as invalid
