Jquery Ajax beforeSend and success,error & complete

Maybe you can try the following :

var i = 0;
function AjaxSendForm(url, placeholder, form, append) {
var data = $(form).serialize();
append = (append === undefined ? false : true); // whatever, it will evaluate to true or false only
$.ajax({
    type: 'POST',
    url: url,
    data: data,
    beforeSend: function() {
        // setting a timeout
        $(placeholder).addClass('loading');
        i++;
    },
    success: function(data) {
        if (append) {
            $(placeholder).append(data);
        } else {
            $(placeholder).html(data);
        }
    },
    error: function(xhr) { // if error occured
        alert("Error occured.please try again");
        $(placeholder).append(xhr.statusText + xhr.responseText);
        $(placeholder).removeClass('loading');
    },
    complete: function() {
        i--;
        if (i <= 0) {
            $(placeholder).removeClass('loading');
        }
    },
    dataType: 'html'
});
}

This way, if the beforeSend statement is called before the complete statement i will be greater than 0 so it will not remove the class. Then only the last call will be able to remove it.

I cannot test it, let me know if it works or not.
