Loadui "Loading" message not displaying when setting datatype option to a function

[tonytomov]

Hello,
I do not think that this is a problem or bug. This is in the fact standart behaviour.
Let me explain. Before you call your own datatype function a beginReq function is called, which opened the loading message and othe things.
Usually the endReq function is called at end of the ajax request in complete function.
In your case this function is not called at end of your request, but immediatley after you call your function, so the loading message is closed immediatley and you can not see it.

So I will do the following. I will not call beginRequest when we have datatype as function (endReq too), bu will pass a additional parameter to the datatype function the unique id of the loading message, where you can easy show and hide them.
Thanks. Make the decision until write you

Regards
Tony

Tony,
That sounds reasonable. I'm new to this, how do I obtain this change?

Thanks,
