Spin effect not working during ajax call

Question

I have the following code.. But the spin effect doesn\'t happen until the ajax call is finished (which is pretty much useless)

$.ajax({
      type:\"GET\",
              


        

Answer 1

Remove async:false from your $.ajax call. You are making it synchronous instead of asynchronous (the A in AJAX) and hanging the browser while it waits for a response.
