For a webapp, does an animated gif really detract processing time? The gif should be running client side, And the processing of the app would be running server side. Maybe you could only show the gif while The app is waiting for the server to push some more data? George -Original

You are correct that the animated gif does not harm the processing time on the server. I think it is obnoxious to the user when it is there for too short a time, so I hauled some out and stopped putting them in, figuring we will wait to see where they are really needed once we do volume testing. I

Good idea! I was just leaving this out at this point so I didn't clutter up the code unnecessarily, figuring I would only put these in where I know they are needed. But in cases where I'm not sure, this seems like a good approach. Thanks! --dawn On Wed, May 2, 2012 at 10:13 AM, David A. Green

That's been the default mechanism for years in ASP.NET Ajax (just another free framework). Your progress panel is set to only go visible if an ajax request doesn't return in x seconds. Each request needs to be considered for tuning. The response to a simple data validation is expected to only

Another very simple and subtle thing you can do is make use of the default OS pointer icons via javascript: document.body.style.cursor = 'wait'; // hourglass, spinning circle, etc. document.body.style.cursor = 'default'; // arrow I change the pointer for AJAX calls when the user should wait for
