$.active still shows as "1" when $.Ajax complete event called

Question

Just as in the Title really. I'm guessing this is by design but would someone mind confirming?

The problem is: I want to trigger another Ajax callback when another one has completed. This rules me out of using the AjaxStop global event as then of course I just end up in an ajax call loop.

I'm just trying to reassure myself that there's no point trying to use the complete event at the mo really. If I know that's a non-starter then I'll have a think about an alternative.

Any help gratefully received.

found this which confirms:

jQuery.active function
