My example: {{loadmsg = CAT("loading ...", BR(), SPAN(_class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"))}} {{=LOAD(c='myhosts', f='myhosts2.load', target='my_hosts', content=loadmsg, ajax=True)}} (fa-spinner is an animation available from Font-Awesome-4.3.0 on the web) When you need to move to fancier stuff, you can also use the jquery and ajax tools described in <URL:http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/11/jquery-and-ajax> Hope this helps. -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
