Disabling some jQuery global Ajax event handlers for a request

Question

Suppose that I have some global Ajax event handlers defined (ajaxStart, ajaxStop, and ajaxError). Usually I am fine with that, but for one request, I want to disable the aja

When you look at this if statement from the jquery/ajax source https://github.com/jquery/jquery/blob/master/src/ajax.js#L579-582 , which is one of many of the same kind, it is clear that your problem can not be solved by a jquery parameter alone.

My suggestion would be to:

• set global to false, like Vaibhav Gupta said

• map your global handlers to local in the specific ajax call and trigger the global event through the $.event.trigger method

Sample:

$.ajax({
    url: "test.html",
    global: false,
    beforeSend: function(){$.event.trigger('ajaxStart');},
    complete: function(){$.event.trigger('ajaxStop');},
    error: your_error_handler
});
