How do I set the beforesend option in WordPress AJAX? I want to show loading option.

This is my code:

function showmyvideos() { 
    var datas="data";
    var data = {
        action: 'my_vids',
        link: datas  
    }; 
    ajaxurl= "http://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php";
    jQuery.post(ajaxurl, data,function(response) {

    });

}

  2. For posterity.

    You can still use $.ajax() without having to use $.ajaxSeteup(). All you need to specify is the type and make sure it is set to POST.

    $.ajax({

    url: localized_script.ajax_url,  /* Admin ajax url from localized script */
    type: 'POST',  /* Important */
    data: data_object,  /* Data object including 'action' and all post variables */
    beforeSend: function() {
        alert('Before Send');
    },
    success : function(response) {
        alert(response);  /* Response from ajax function */
    },
    complete: function() {
        alert('Complete');
    }
});

    As you can see, you can set different functions/events for beforeSend, success and complete.
