<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">
<title>Register a handler to be called when the first Ajax request begins.</title>
</head>
<body>
<div class="jquery">jQuery: Click here</div>
<div class="result"></div>
<div class="log"></div>
</body>
</html>

JavaScript Code :

$( document ).ajaxStart(function() {
  $( ".log" ).text( "Triggered ajaxStart handler." );
});

$( ".jquery" ).click(function() {
  $( ".result" ).load( "https://www.w3resource.com/jquery-exercises/jq-ajax-test.html" );
