jQuery callback for multiple ajax calls

Question

I want to make three ajax calls in a click event. Each ajax call does a distinct operation and returns back data that is needed for a final callback. The calls themselves are not dependent on one another, they can all go at the same time, however I would like to have a final callback when all three are complete.

$('#button').click(function() {
    fun1();
    fun2();
    fun3();
//now do something else when the requests have done their 'success' callbacks.
});

var fun1= (function() {
    $.ajax({/*code*/});
});
var fun2 = (function() {
    $.ajax({/*code*/});
});
var fun3 = (function() {
    $.ajax({/*code*/});
});

I came across this problem today, and this was my naive attempt before watching the accepted answer.

<script>
    function main() {
        var a, b, c
        var one = function() {
            if ( a != undefined  && b != undefined && c != undefined ) {
                alert("Ok")
            } else {
                alert( "¬¬ ")
            }
        }

        fakeAjaxCall( function() {
            a = "two"
            one()
        } )
        fakeAjaxCall( function() {
            b = "three"
            one()
        } )
        fakeAjaxCall( function() {
            c = "four"
            one()
        } )
    }
    function fakeAjaxCall( a ) {
        a()
    }
    main()
</script>
