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; -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Prototype & script.aculo.us" group.
