Loading Gif As A Placeholder Hide When Script Loads?
Mar 31, 2010
I have a script i downloaded to add a twitter feed to a page on my site. Everything works perfectly, except there is at least 15-20 seconds until twitter loads, so what the user sees is a blank spot, and if JavaScript is disabled, its obviously a blank space.I wanted to add a placeholder such as an animated gif to that spot, I just don't know how to go about doing that, and how would i have the gif hide when the script functions.
The banner on my page takes longer to load than the website... Right now nothing is at the top, then suddenly it will appear then after it loads. I was wondering if it's possible to have a placeholder there that says "Feature Banner is Loading" so visitors know something will appear there before they click away to another page.

I'm currently working on a site where we pull in information from an RSS feed and then use a script to rotate them. The problem that I'm coming up against is if the RSS takes a while to load the script is throwing an error.
The RSS feed is being pumped out as list items so if the li isn't found that's when I receive the error. I thought a while loop maybe the answer to this but I'm unsure about how to implement it. I've attached the function below.
I'm having trouble showing a loading image between loads but only in IE.
Code: function PreLoad(){ cookie = new Image(); cookie.src = "loading.gif";
[Code]....
When a user clicks the button it references ShowImage() - PreLoad is used when the body loads. This works find in Mozilla browsers, but not IE. How can I get the loading graphic to show in IE?
(ShowImage() loads a dynamically generated image, and there is a brief pause before it is show -- that's why I need the loading graphic). I've tried Google but to no avail.
Im trying to add some simple display features to a web application and am running into some unexpected IE8 behavior. Basically, the app runs some database retrieval from the server using Ajax techniques, and during that time (say, 30 seconds), I want to just give the user a clue as to whats going on. It could be as simple as a wait cursor. More interesting, I prefer to unhide a div with an animated loading icon, then hide it again when loading is complete.
In one of my web page I want to show an image preloader. ie When I clicked on the small thumbnail in my web page then the main large image will load. My code looks something like this
$("#images li").click(function(){ var image=this.href; $("#mainImage").attr('src',image); });
I want to show the Loading sign until the main image loads completely.
How do I display a message applet is loading when a applet is getting loaded. Without using Mediatracker.I want the message to be provided as PARAM NAME.
I am currently loading the TreeView asynchronously and I'm trying toset it up so an animated gif displays while a node is being expandednd its child nodes are being created. Currently it just saysplaceholder until the child nodes are done loading
I am using jQuery validation plugin to validate my form, but it is seems to ignore required fields witch have placeholder text.ow to solve it?To display placeholders in all browsers I am using this jQuery plugiAnd to validate my form, I am using this code :
Is there a jQuery way for me to retrieve the placeholder attribute of a form input element? I've tried the obvious:
alert ( $ (
[Code]....
but it returns undefined in both firefox and chrome for some reason! All other attributes are displayed fine with the above code... is this a bug in jQuery? using the latest version. Is there a workaround?
how to display placeholder text in older browsers. I've succeeded in applying the following code (taken from p224 of "DOM Scripting", by Jeremy Keith) to a single input by its ID...
Code:
function elementSupportsAttribute(element, attribute) { if (!document.createElement) return false; var test = document.createElement(element);
[code]...
how these functions should be used and how I can change "resetFields" to use the test function from the first code example, instead of Modernizer?
I recently set up a JQuery script to show and hide a specific DIV on my site. Everything is working correctly except when the page is loading, the DIV is fully expanded and hides as it's supposed to a few seconds later. Ideally, I would like this DIV to remain hidden until the user actually clicks on it. This seems to be a performance issue, but honestly I am a JavaScript novice so I really don't know where to go from here.
The page in questions is here. And the specific areas that use this script are the "Change Log" and "Readme" boxes.
I have embed a flash player known as: JW player into my website and put it into a div. Now my problem is I want javascript to hide the div containing the flash player for atleast a few seconds to display a loading image.gif. How would I set this up?
It seems like when I load javascript code into a page, that each item I add, such as an accordian vertical navbar, image slider, etc, that each time I add one, the page loads a second or so slower with each one added. I would like some of these features, but is this just a part of life, or are there tricks to avoid the slower load time? It is not major time but after the 2 items I mentioned, it added on about 2 seconds.
I read that $(document).ready(function() might slow me down but I do not see that statement in any of my .js files.
I have only started to learn HTML, CSS, and Javascript (roughly 2 weeks now). I am having a issues regarding when I submit form data to the server. I want to temporarily disable the 'submit' button while the browser is loading and then reactivate it once everything has finished loading. This was my attempt at doing this.
I have a site that is very jQuery and image heavy. The main sections of the site link to sections that are built with several Tabs, and as it loads, you briefly see all the content load and then it is hidden by the Tabs code.
The plan is to have a full window DIV that sits above all the content with a loading icon that plays until the entire page loads, and then it fades down.
After some hair pulling and research I have code in place that does exactly as I ask, however it does not seem to work in IE6+7. It works in all other browsers.
I have a lot of javascript functions that request information from an iframe hidden on the page. I see other sites do this, but their browser does not do the loading action (like the processing circle in Firefox). When I do it on my site, each browser shows the loading icon, as if a page was loading. Is it possible to not have this?

That is a sample link. Go down right side of page where you see three buttons: Trailers Featurettes Clips.Those return iframe information to work.
If you scroll to the bottom, and click: "See what our users have to say" and you can see the sliders.
It's working in all browsers but Safari, the script just doesn't seem to be loading, I get the loading scroller bars but they don't fully load. What is the best way to debug JS - is that the right term?
I have this loading.gif image that is 750px, when it should be 32px. The reason it's huge now is because my original solution was displaying two images: one 750px version of the loading.gif image and one 32px version (in the center of the 750px) of the same image. Now I'm at least down to one image, even if it's the wrong version.Click any of the thumbnail images here, and then again on the thumbnail at the top of that popup product gallery to see what I mean: need that huge loading.gif to be 32px like it should be, and then expand to 750px once the image is loaded. I've tried a bunch of solutions, but nothing has solved the problem.This is the code I have at the moment, although I'm working on the issue now so it may change.
$('#inline .thumbGrid img').click(function(){ var strLargeImg = document.getElementById('OBOEsac'); $('.galleryPopup').attr('src','/site/scripts/colorbox/images/loading.gif');
It's for a photo gallery like this http:[url].....php but the one I need it for has 100 images so the page loads much slower. I can't just put the loading gif behind the images (as you would normaly) because you can see it with each image fade in and out. how I can have a loading gif show "only" while the images are initially loading, and then it goes away?
