You can actually use specific AJAX status codes to determine the calls status (2,3,4... If I remember correctly).
I think you will need to use AJAX if you want true loading status as the browsers spinning globe etc is supposed to be used to tell the user a page/request is loading.. Do you need the call to be truly asynchronous (so you can do other things?)
