How to know if there is any Ajax Request and ajax Success

I wonder how can I code this:

//if there is any ajax request
   $("#loader").css("display","block");
//on success:
    $("#loader").css("display","none");

Note : I am not going to code it again and again in my each ajax request function. I want it generic so that my script knows if there is any ajax request do $("#loader").css("display","block"); and if there is any ajax success do $("#loader").css("display","none");.

These other solutions are great but I am not sure they address your concern of calling your $("#loader") CSS changes on start and success.

May be something like this:

$(document).ajaxStart(function() {

  // do something on start
  $("#loader").css("display","block");

}).ajaxError(function(e, xhr, settings) {
  // do something on error
  $("#loader").css("display","none");

}).ajaxSuccess(function() {

  // do something on success
  $("#loader").css("display","block");

});

Take a look at $.ajaxStart and $.ajaxEnd when you wire up your app in $.document(ready):

$.ajaxStart(function(){
  $("#loader").css("display", "block");
})
.ajaxStop(function(){
  $("#loader").css("display", "none");
});

UPDATE forgot about ajaxStop...@Cory's answer reminded me. Updated my answer.

The magical thing you are looking for is jQuery.ajaxStart() and jQuery.ajaxStop(). You might also find jQuery.ajaxComplete() useful.

Example:

$("#loader").ajaxStart(function() {
   $(this).show();
}).ajaxStop(function() {
   $(this).hide();
});

You should use the hide() and show() methods instead of changing the display CSS attribute.

If you fire off two or three ajax calls, ajaxStop will only fire when the last one is done.

var isMakingAjaxCall;

$(document).ready(function () {

    // Loading Screen for Ajax Calls
    $("#loader").hide();
    $("#loader").ajaxStart(function () {
        isMakingAjaxCall = true;
        RepositionLoading();
        $("#loader").fadeIn();
    });
    $("#loader").ajaxStop(function () {
        $("#loader").fadeOut();
        isMakingAjaxCall = false;
    });
});

function RepositionLoading() {
    $("#loader").css('left', "20px");
    $("#loader").css('top', "20px");
};
