When using

AjaxOptions ajaxOpts = new AjaxOptions
{
    UpdateTargetId = "Entry",
    LoadingElementDuration = 5000,
    LoadingElementId = "Remove"
};

With

<div id="Remove">
@using (Ajax.BeginForm("Data", ajaxOpts))
{
}
</div>
<div id="Entry"></div>

The animation call on the div "Remove" takes around 60ms, not 5000ms. Is this because it only animates during the request and disregards the actual loadingelementduration? Why is this happening?

• ajax
• asp.net-mvc-3
• razor

The duration of the element loading will occur over the amount of loading time, so if the loading time is faster than the animation speed it goes very quickly.
