for the record: Seems that above function despite having additional class is still bound to the same event executing both open and close.
Since I could not find solution to this in reasonable time I've implemented following workaround: $(function() { $('div.Commands a.CmdOpen').click(function(ev) { ev.preventDefault(); var target = $(this).parent('div').next('div.Target'); if ($(this).is('.Active')) { $(this).removeClass('Active'); target.slideUp().html(''); } else { $(this).addClass('Active'); $("#busy-indicator").clone().appendTo(target).show(); $.ajax({ url: $(this).attr('href'), cache: false, success: function(html) { target.slideDown().html(html); }, error: function (XMLHttpRequest, status, errorThrown) { alert('error ...'); } }); } }); }); At present I only experience one problem - indicator is visible only on the first click, following clicks work but do not display busy indicator while awaiting ajax response.
