Trigger event on file download popup

[joslin]

Hi All,

I'm facing some problem with javascript events.
My application displays an hour glass on document.onstop.
I want an event to be triggered when a file download option pops up so that the hour glass is hidden.

Any help in this regards will b appreciated.
Is there any other way of calling the hour glass function(other than document.onstop) ??

Thanks,
Joslin

I don't think you can trigger something when the download alert displays.

To display an hour glass, change the cursor of the body to "wait". See this link.

Joslin,
you can also have the following sample

<script type="text/javascript">
 
// Changes the cursor to an hourglass
function cursor_wait() {
document.body.style.cursor = 'wait';
}
 
// Returns the cursor to the default pointer
function cursor_clear() {
document.body.style.cursor = 'default';
}
 
// Does some arduous calculation
function calc() {
var dummy = 0;
 
for (var i=0; i<1000000;i++) {
for (var z=0; i<1000000;i++) {
dummy = dummy + z + i;
}
}
 
cursor_clear();
}
 
</script>

That doesn't answer the question of the event being triggered when the file download pops up. Maybe the cursor could be changed when the link is clicked and changed back when the window receives focus again.
