New issue 2356 by [email protected]: alert() + prompt() + confirm()
family extension proposal
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=2356
(This is feature request)
I am a big fan of minimalism UI approach. Whenever possible I always use
browser embedded UI elements connected to alert(), prompt(), confirm()
methods. Plus the one connected to Basic Auth protocol (though it is not a
JS element).
I feel that there is one such embedded method missing since the wide
adoption of AJAX. Namely modal activity indicator or progress bar. I
propose pioneer implementation of this feature in Chromium engine.
I see it as a method say "wait()" which calls modal window similar to
alert() with indefinite rotating indicator or optionally percentage
progress bar. In the main script once in a while signals to the modal
window can be sent to update percentage bar until last signal "stop" which
removes modal window.
