Hi,
I have a requirement after a user goes to page X which takes a while
to load, to show a spinner. I have an issue trying to solve this
with basic JavaScript (see below). Can prototype help here?
Details of my current problem: It seems when I use "window.location"
as a means to redirect to the API when my longer running transaction
is does not ensure the animation for the spinner gif I have works. ie.
I see the gif ok but it not being animated. Is there another way in
Javascript to force the redirect once the gif animation starts?
<div id="loading">
</div>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
function show_spinner() {
$("form").hide()
$("loading").show()
window.location = "/weekends/display" # <== SEEMS TO
STOPSPINNER ANIMATION
}
window.onload=show_spinner;
</script>
CSS:
#loading {
width:100px;
height: 100px;
position: fixed;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
background:url(/images/ajax-loader.gif) no-repeat center #fff;
text-align:center;
padding:10px;
font:normal 16px Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif;
# border:1px solid #666;
margin-left: -50px;
margin-top: -50px;
z-index:2;
overflow: auto;
