Recently making the switch from [Prototype](http://www.prototypejs.org/) to [jQuery](http://jquery.com/), I am struggling with some basic issues.

I use several AJAX-requests in my application; for 95% of these requests, I'd like to have some global events executed, such as showing or hiding a loading indicator. Apart from the global functionality, every request should also have some custom code executed after it has completed.

It seems like the local [Ajax events](http://docs.jquery.com/Ajax_Events) override the global ones, once they are set. For example, see the following code:

```
// global events
$('#loader').bind('ajaxStart', function() { 
    // in this particular example, the ajaxStart() works fine, 
    // as it has not been overridden
    Loader.enable();
}).bind('ajaxComplete', function() { 
    // this section will not execute. when the local complete()
    // is removed, it will execute just fine
    Loader.disable();
} );

// local ajax event
$.ajax({
    type: $(element).attr('method'),
    url: $(element).attr('action'),
    data: $(element).serialize(),
    global: 'true',
    complete: function(data) {
        if (params.target && $('#' + params.target)) {
            $('#' + params.target).html(data.responseText);
        }
        Behaviour.apply();
});

```

In this particular case, the local complete() event seems to stop the global ajaxComplete() event from executing.

**Is there any way to execute both the local as the global ajax events?**
