Delay the display of image loaded using jquery + ajax

I am using the following code :

   $.ajax({
        url: "pgiproxy.php",
        data: ({ data : $("#formdata").serialize(), mode : "graph"}),
        success: 
            function(result){
                var temp = $('<div/>').html(result);
                var val = temp.find('center').html();
                $('#BFX').html(val);
            },
        error:
            function(){
                $("#error").html("ERROR !!!");
            }
    });

The 'result' from the ajax call to 'pgiproxy.php' is a whole web page (returned as a string), this is then converted to a jQuery object and stored in 'var'. I then extract the data I need (a .gif image) using .find() which is stored in 'val'. This image is then inserted into a #BFX div for display.

My problem is every successive time I click my button to update this image it shows the image loading from top to bottom as it is reading it in from the web. Is there a way to only display this image once it has fully loaded so the user doesnt see the image loading and only sees the image change instantly.

You can do it all manually: loading image in the background and then inserting it into the page. There are several articles discussing topic in details, including this one:
