this is how you do a post with loading at the top middle ish
<html>
<head>
<style>
.loading {
display: none;
position: absolute;
top: 0px;
left: 50%;
}
</style>
<script src="jquery.js" language="Javascript" type="text/javascript"></
script>
</head>
<body>
<script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$(document).ajaxStart(function(){
$('.loading').show();
});
$(document).ajaxStop(function(){
$('.loading').hide();
});
$('.clickme').click(function(){
//i have trouble with the post permiters so i always do it the
{}
way but you can just pass a array
$.post('example.cfm',{peram1 : 'hello',peram2 : 'world', myval
: $
('.myinput').val()},function(data){
alert($(data).find('result').text());
});
return false;
});
});
</script>
<div class="loading">loading</div>
<a href="#" class="clickme">Click me</a>
<input class="myinput" name="text_input" type="text" value="Enter
Something here">
</body>
</html>
