its is worling with $('div.loading').show(); This is also useful even other components

$('#editDiv').dialog({
            modal : true,
            width : 'auto',
            height : 'auto',
            buttons : {
                Ok : function() {
                    //Call Action to read wo and 
                     **$('div.loading').show();**

                    var status = call(...)
                    if(status){
                        $.ajax({
                            type : "POST",
                            url : "./test",
                            data : {
                                ...
                            },
                            async : false,
                            success : function(data) {

                                retVal = true;
                            },
                            error : function(xhr, status) {


                                retVal = false;
                            }
                        });
                    }
                    if (retVal == true) {
                        retVal = true;
                        $(this).dialog('close');
                    }
                    **$('div.loading').hide();**
                },
                Cancel : function() {
                    retVal = false;
                    $(this).dialog('close');
                }

            }
        });
