[Proto-Scripty] Can prototype solve the issue with my spinner not animating when I use window.location=xxx
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;

thanks - I can at least now give up on the current approach I was trying to get working :) On Feb 25, 7:40 am, Pranav pranav.k.moor...@gmail.com wrote: AFAIK, the browser stops all executions on the current page when the page unloads (when you click on a link, submit a form, set the location property etc) What you could do is start with an empty weekends/display page that only displays the animated gif and then load the page content asynchronously. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Prototype script.aculo.us group.

[Proto-Scripty] Re: does prototype abstract canvas usage to both IE mozilla?
Hi guys, I've just come across http://jalava.buildyourownapps.com I'm just seeing now that for a diagram editor there seems to be 2 approaches from what I can tell, one based on real drawing (e.g. raphaeljs, or canvas tag), and the other using the capabilities of layout inherit using HTML/CSS/etc which is what the above-mentioned jalava is doing I think (or I think the commercial http://mxgraph.com is using this also) Any comments here? Would you agree that using the HTML/CSS layout capabilities (which seems to lay in being able to do absolute positioning of objects) would be a better fit? This would also get around any issues re Canvas tag support cross-browsers?

[Proto-Scripty] building object orientated javascript libraries - does Prototype support/help here???
Hi all, I confess this is a newbie question in advance: Q1 - If one wants to build a set of higher level library functions in javascript (e.g. to aid in drawing objects say) does Prototype assist here? That is would it provide a framework, or a standard way of building up JavaScript code with an OO like approach? Q2 - What would people recommend here for a set of higher level Javascript functions that themselves may lend themself to being modeled in a OO like fashion? i.e. in the javascript programming world is this something you just would not consider trying to do (i.e. and sticking with functional approach).
