Pardon me, a "recursion exceeded" error? Can you do a clean 'git clone' of the repository, and try to build the pyjs_site again? There is no error, neither with pyjsbuild nor with the resulting application in the web browser. Also, with a build from a freshly cloned repository the layout is identical to the screenshots I posted. No flaws whatsoever.

There is no random hope: the loading gif is hidden by the pink area as soon as the site is drawn. There is no explicit need to remove it from the DOM or set its style to display:none, or whatever. That's not necessary. Not for the website. And, there is no place better than the static HTML to show a simple image, when it's of non-dynamic nature (no real progress indicator, just a stupid animation), as early as possible. What if something goes wrong with reading the bootstrap.js? Opera 11 shows such a behaviour when returning to the site with the back button. Nothing would be shown when bootstrap.js were responsible for the progress indicator image---with the image in the static HTML, however, the indicator shows up. After a while with no progress you wonder why "nothing happens", and ask the Opera browser to reload, then the bootstrap.js is loaded normally and the app works. I've tested this serveral times. So, if you really really by all means want that in the bootstrap loader, what shall I do? Take the bootstrap.js from the ./output folder, modify it, copy it to ./public, add and commit it? Please advise. Peter
