Hi Derek
Yes, i was looking at seeing if there was any events to hook onto during the esri request to update the status of the div i have the output going to i have however for this instance just used the esri.hide and esri.show calls and this seems to work (but my code loops through alot of different functions depending on the results from the json response) so i have multiple esri calls through the code.
It would be easier to hook onto a few main events - i was thinking for my requirements, an onSubmit and onComplete etc, that would make it easier for me however more generic calls would be sufficient as we do not want to overdo the events available, just to ensure end users know that things are progressing etc.
Thanks for the consideration,
thanks
