Answer 1

If you put this in your function that handles an ajax action it'll only bind itself when appropriate:

$('#yourDiv')
    .ajaxStart(function(){
        $("ResultsDiv").hide();
        $(this).show();
    })
    .ajaxStop(function(){
        $(this).hide();
        $(this).unbind("ajaxStart");
    });
