Page Loading

Hello,
I am having trouble creating a script to display a window while the
page is loading. I was wondering what the best way to do this would be.

Thank you,

Hello,
I have the same problem too. I tried displaying a div, something like
gmail does, but it doesn't work properly. It has some delay impossible
to make dissapear.
The code it's something like

show div
httpxmlrequest
hide div

but the result is:
first, the browser freezes for a second
second the content is displayed
third the div is displayed
fourth the div dissapear

when the logical thing to happen should be:

div is displayed
the browser freezes for a second
the content is displayed
the div dissapear.

Thanks

I don't know how you initialize the page. Usually, I add a function for
for body on load and control everything in this on load function. For
example, put your httpxmlrequest in on load function, once finish this
request, go to a callback function for display content and then control
the div to be hidden.

Use this way should be ok.

Hello,
Yes that does work but, what I want to do is that functionality for
display that warning for asyncronic content not only in the onload
event, for example an

<a href="javascript:;" onclick="putnewcontent();"go </a>

<script>
funtion putnewcontent ()
{
showloading();
xmlhttprequest();
hideloading();
}
</script>

something like that, as gmail might do.
but that code does not execute in order like I thought, I think it
might have something to do with the xmlhttprequest priority execution
or something like that.
If you are able to, test it. It might not happen to you,if you do so
please let me know.

Thanks

Hi,

As I mentioned, put the hide div function after execute xmlhttprequest.
For example change your code to

<script>
funtion putnewcontent ()
{
showloading();
xmlhttprequest();
}

function xmlhttprequest()
{
blah blah...
hideloading();
}
</script>

The problem is time gap between browser send request to server and
return value back to page.

I'm not sure how gmail working although I use it. :-P
